Atención! Murderer Next Door(2020)

Atención! Murderer Next Door Synopsis

Faced with a lack of prosecution of those accused of crimes against humanity committed during Argentina’s military dictatorship, family members and descendants of the country’s estimated 30,000 disappeared took action. In the mid-1990s, they began gathering outside of accused perpetrators’ homes and workplaces to publicly shame them and raise awareness about the government’s systematic and brutal targeting of its people — and how it had gone unpunished. The human rights group HIJOS (Sons and Daughters for Identity and Justice Against Forgetfulness and Silence) led and labeled this direct-action style of protest “escrache,” or exposure.

Atención! Murderer Next Door (2020) is a documentary film directed by Sean Mattison, released on December 4, 2020 with a runtime of 14m. It stars Camilo Juarez Pais.
