Un Pogrom en Buenos Aires (2007) poster

At the beginning of the 20th century, many Jews arrived in Buenos Aires escaping the misery and persecution they suffered in Europe. In 1919, during Tragic Week, a pogrom (persecution of Jews) occurred in the Once neighborhood. It has been said of this incident that "they were some well-off kids who went hunting for the Russian." This documentary begins with the questions that the director himself, whose grandfather arrived in Buenos Aires at the beginning of the 20th century, asks about the event and its implications. He also explores the causes and consequences of its limited coverage, the falsified data regarding the number of deaths, and the internal disputes within the Jewish community.
