Miriam Lewin

Today, thirty years after her kidnapping and confinement at the Naval Mechanics School, Miriam Lewin is a renowned journalist. Through her story, the documentary brings us closer to the stories of other survivors: that of the couple Ana María Soffiantini and Ricardo Coquet, who met during their confinement; and that of Victoria Donda Pérez, who was born in captivity and is the daughter of disappeared parents, appropriated by her uncle, who was linked to the forces of repression; and the sister—unbeknownst to her—of Victoria Grigera, also the daughter of a disappeared militant.

"Traslados" is a compelling documentary that investigates the notorious "Death Flights" conducted during Argentina's last civic-military dictatorship (1976-1983). Through powerful testimonies from former detainees, victims' families, and experts, along with archival footage, animations, and emotional recreations, the film pieces together the intricate puzzle of evidence that confirms the regime's brutal methods of murder and forced disappearance. Key moments featured include the discovery of the body of French nun Leonnie Duquet, the infiltration of military officer Alfredo Astiz into the Madres de Plaza de Mayo group, and an interview with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Adolfo Pérez Esquivel. The documentary also highlights the significant event of a plane used in the "Death Flights" returning to Argentina in 2023, serving as a poignant reminder of this dark chapter in history.
