- Synopsis
- This documentary rescues the figure of Rafael "Cacho" Perrotta, a key character, strangely forgotten in the history of journalism in Argentina. His life is like a puzzle with many facets, whose complete pieces never fit. Perrotta was a man who lived with great intensity the most hopeful and the most heinous period of the political, economic and social life of the country. A passionate man about his great creation to which he devoted his entire life. In the seventies, as editor of the newspaper "El Cronista Comercial", he formed a unique newsroom, absolutely atypical. His journal puts aside market reports to become one of the best publications that were ever made in the country. The newsroom had prominent journalists from different political identities, which generated an ideological and informative wealth that was transferred to the pages of the journal. Coming from a wealthy family, belonging to the exclusive elite of the upper classes, a friend of personalities like the dictator Emilio Massera and former minister of Economy of the military dictatorship, Alfredo Martinez de Hoz, Perrotta decided to take sides in a very critical moment of Argentina's history. His religious education and his generosity led him to feel anxious about social inequality and lack of freedom that existed in our country for those dark years. Over time these concerns and convictions lead him to relate to the high command of the armed organizations of that time, especially with the intelligence section of the Revolutionary Workers Party. This fact was read by the military hierarchy as an irrefutable sign of extreme betrayal to his class. He was abducted in June 1977, becoming one of the countless “desaparecidos” in our country.
