Difficulty: Intermediate

Puerto Rico

Viewer Discretion Advised

Biografía - Natalia Oreiro - Part 7

Difficulty: Adv-Intermediate

Argentina, Uruguay

When a strange man insists he is Natalia’s true father, she is oddly sympathetic, “we all know about el proceso.” But do we? The “process” is shorthand for the era of military dictatorships that engulfed the Southern Cone in the mid 70’s. During this era, untold numbers of infants of suspected “subversives” were kidnapped, often taken by police or military members to raise as their own.

Tune in to find out the details.
