I watched this documentary (from 2004) and thought I'd pass it on to anyone interested in the buildup and aftermath of the Argentine debt crisis. It's also known by the spanish name Memoria del saqueo and is spanish with english subtitles. If you use bittorent, here's a quick .av]search result to find a download. Or ask for it at DVD rental shops.
Variety review here. The director is Fernando Solanas.
"exposes the systematic despoiling of Argentina -- not by a dictator or military junta but by an elected democracy.
