“The Secret In Their Eyes” – Oscar winning film from Argentina

Box Office: 020 8232 1010

Expect some strong language and a violent rape scene in this Oscar winning film from Argentina (Best Foreign Film).  Otherwise, a great storyline which should provide a better insight into the  "Disappearances", the repressive  military regime of 1970's Argentina, and its effects.  This film has received some excellent reviews so altogether it should provide some good stuff for our post film discussion.
