When a doctor discovers that his son is the tortured victim of a brutal dictatorship, he fights back the only way he can - through the law courts. Blocked at every turn, this becomes more than one man's fight against a government - it is one man's war.

4.0 out of 5 stars A true Story, May 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: One Man's War [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie shows how a Man can fight for the truth, and how was Paraguay during this dictatorship of almost 40 years. Here U will see the corruption of this small country in South America, and the tirany that this man had, Alfredo Stroessner.

Its a sad story and all the events happened in the real life. Today the Filartigas lives in Asuncion, the capital city. Always remenbering Joelito.

In memory of all the people who died in this sad part of the Paraguayan history.

This review is from: One Man's War (DVD)

I was very impressed with this movie the first time I saw it and couldn't understand why I had never heard anything about it. I think the acting is very good, the subject very important and I'm glad I now have it on DVD. The service was very good and I look forward to being able to watch it whenever I want to. I think it's a winner.
