Martinez de Hoz

It's necessary to explain the great successful of Awka Liwen in Argentina to know why is necessary this new documentary: the key of this new film is the sue to censorship Awka Liwen and the dead threats and attacks against me. In September of 2010 we released the documentary Awka Liwen in a classic Theater in the downtown of Buenos Aires. The premiere was attended by more than 2,000 people, which made to the administrators screen the documentary in tree theaters in the cinema complex simultaneously. Awka Liwen very quickly became in a cult film across the country. The film tells the story of the struggle for wealth distribution in Argentina since the theft of the lands of the Indians and gauchos in the nineteenth century to the present. The narrator in Awka Liwen is a great intellectual and human rights activist, deeply respected in Argentina, Prof. Dr. Osvaldo Bayer. A few months after the premiere of Awka Liwen, the grandchildren of the civil boss and Finance Ministry of the last dictatorship -José Alfredo Martínez de Hoz- initiated a sue to censorship Awka Liwen. I've received death threats and I'm sued with Osvaldo Bayer and Felipe Pigna for made a documentary based on irrefutable historiographical evidence. Now we are introducing the documentary Martinez de Hoz to explain why this anachronistic and unjust persecution is possible in the XXI century in Argentina: it's the economy. This new documentary is now banned in Argentina by the president Mauricio Macri.
