5-T-2 Ushuaia (2016)

Synopsis

Adolfo Scilingo was the only military officer to confess the crimes of the dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983. Among the genocide practices described were the death flights -- the dropping of tortured living prisoners into the Río de la Plata or the Atlantic Ocean. Scilingo specifies the model that was used in the flights he participated in: an Electra. Of the eight Electras belonging to the Argentine Navy, only the three bought in 1973 could have been used in the flights that Scilingo describes. Those planes are at present in Argentina. This film searches cartographically the traces of those planes.
