Tucumán Kills Me. Action #2 (We Came from Dust)

State terrorism did away with thirty thousand. We spent years looking for them. Their bones arise as silent witnesses to truncated lives; they return to identify their murderers. In this virtual burial, we seek to ponder the end of a cycle that starts with forced disappearances and now ends forty years later with punishment for their perpetrators.
