Through rare and long-forgotten footage, this documentary uncovers the hidden machinery of Alfredo Stroessner’s dictatorship in Paraguay – one of history’s longest-running regimes. From propaganda to international broadcasts, the film exposes how media shaped power, controlled memory, and built a legacy that still lingers today. 

The film is presented as part of the project Cinema as a Laboratory V co-founded by the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation.
