Conversations with Turiansky

Biographical portrait of the labor movement and left wing movement in Uruguay, "Conversations with Turiansky" combines two stories. The first portrays the son of immigrants, the engineer passionate about the mystery of electricity, the man in love, the movie buff. The other places the protagonist in his time: union struggles, the advance of authoritarianism, prison and the challenges of the present. In both are present the lucidity, commitment, discreet tenderness and humor of Wladimir Turiansky.

Invisible Left

During the 2004 electoral campaign, before the left came to power for the first time ever in the history of Uruguay, a film crew sets out to record the opinions of young people who are going to vote for the left, and to find out what they think about politics, militant action, the left wing parties and citizen participation. Under the impact of today's global economic slowdown and political crisis, stereotypes of militant action have changed since May 1968 and the utopian thought of the 1970s, and in this documentary some of these new forms of political thought find expression.
