Argentina,1978. President Jorge Rafael Videla' s military dictatorship reigns with an iron fist, regularly kidnapping, torturing and murdering political activists and opponents and their families at secret concentration camps. The country is locked in a spiral of fear and chaos - and are soon to host the World Cup. As the cacophony of protest against Videla' s government rises, his regime' s drive to ' disappear' these troublesome elements accelerates before they can embarrass him in front of the world' s mediaThis is the story of a rugby club that refused to be silenced. When one of their teammates is found dead - assassinated - the Club La Plata first XV took a minute' s silence before their next game. The minute ran to two . . . to three . . . For ten long minutes they stood in furious silence. But when the junta learned of this protest it wasn' t long before another player disappeared. And then another. Over the course of four years, nineteen players for La Plata were murdered by the regime: gunned down, assassinated, ' disappeared' . ' A gargantuan, memorable story, a film in the making, ready for global success. ' - La Repubblica' A powerful and heart-breaking story about sacrifice and courage. ' - Le Monde
