At Five on the Dot

2004 · 56 min

A sober, archival-driven account that lets witnesses and cameramen recount a moment of collective defiance, feeling both grave and quietly stirring.

Overview
The biggest peaceful demonstration of resistance to an authoritarian regime in Latin America in the 1970s was the general strike whereby Uruguayan workers and students rejected the military coup of 27 June 1973. In this documentary we follow what happened from two perspectives: that of the people who took part in the mass mobilisation, and that of those who captured those events in images.
