Carne Viva (2007)

In January 1959, around 9,000 workers at the Lisandro De la Torre state-owned meatpacking plant began a strike against its privatization. While President Arturo Frondizi traveled to the United States, an unprecedented popular uprising erupted in the Mataderos neighborhood. The documentary chronicles the testimony of the protagonists of the now legendary takeover of the meatpacking plant to analyze the close ties that meat, politics, and violence have had throughout Argentine history.
