Argentina, 1985 is a historical drama based on real events that follows prosecutor Julio Strassera and his team as they bring Argentina’s military dictatorship leaders to trial after the return of democracy. Facing political pressure, threats, and institutional resistance, they build a case against those responsible for widespread human rights violations, relying on powerful testimonies from victims and survivors.
