IL RUMORE DELLA MEMORIA

Directed by Marco Bechis

2014 / 50min

A documentary film that recounts the life of Vera Vigevani Jarach, through a firsthand account of two experiences that, over time and in different places, shaped her life, confronting her under two different dictatorships that made deportation and physical elimination commonplace: Nazism and Fascism and the Argentine dictatorship. The disappearance of her daughter Franca inspired Vera to become a founder of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo and a "memory activist," touring Italy and Argentina to tell her two stories, ensuring that these horrors never happen again.
