En la dimensión de las tensiones del presente-pasado se sitúa este libro, que reconoce su raíz en el acto conmemorativo del cuarenta aniversario de los golpes de Estado en Chile y Uruguay, dos dictaduras emparentadas en su génesis de seguridad nacional y en sus estructuras represivas, instauradas en dos países coincidentes en su prolongada historia de estabilidad democrática, y sólidos sistemas de partidos y organizaciones de la sociedad civil. Es una obra que conjunta historia, ciencia política, sociología, psicología y cinematografía para multiplicar los puntos de acceso que permitan revalorar realidades históricas y constatar herencias que aún afectan al presente latinoamericano en lo social y lo político.
