Through rigorous journalistic investigation, Transfers revisits one of the darkest episodes of the last Argentine military dictatorship: the infamous Death Flights. Through a thriller-like rhythm that leaves no respite, the film reveals the horror of those violent years in which men and women were kidnapped, tortured, and thrown alive into the sea or the Río de la Plata from State planes as part of a systematic plan of extermination. Transfers sheds light on one of the most emblematic episodes of the death flights: the kidnapping and murder of the “twelve of Santa Cruz,” a group of Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, human rights activists and two French nuns captured in December 1977. The film brings together testimonies from detainees, journalists, mothers, and grandmothers from Plaza de Mayo, researchers, judges, anthropologists, witnesses, and many well-known figures, on how these flights became the modus operandi to make a huge number of people disappear, of which very few bodies were able to ever be recovered. Nicolás Gil Lavedra’s Transfers is a poignant and urgent reconstruction that underscores the vital importance of continuing to fight for memory, truth and justice.
