Luis Batlle Berres

Luis Batlle Berres 1999 Directed by Claude Frison , Eliana Delisante

This is the story of Luis Batlle Berres, an outstanding political figure, told against the background of life in Uruguay from 1900 to the 1960s. With archive images and music from the period, this documentary pays homage to those years and to a time gone by. There is testimony from Batlle's personal hairdresser, his master of arms, his children and travelling companions in politics, and his adversaries. We witness his meeting with General Juan Domingo Perón, and we see the Graf Zeppelin with its swastika in the sky above Montevideo.
