The Cordobazo was a pivotal moment in Argentina’s history, marking a fierce and transformative resistance against the military dictatorship of Juan Carlos Onganía in 1969. This documentary traces the powerful civil disobedience of the people of Córdoba, where workers and students united to challenge oppressive labor laws and the dictatorship’s growing authoritarianism.
Through striking footage and interviews, the documentary highlights the powerful solidarity among diverse social groups, including industrial unions and student federations. The Cordobazo is remembered not just for the violence it entailed—resulting in several casualties—but also for the unshakable spirit of resistance it inspired, significantly weakening the regime’s grip on power.
Burn Them provides an in-depth analysis of the social and political context of The Cordobazo, highlighting its importance in Argentina’s revolutionary movements and its legacy in Latin American resistance history.
