The Strategic Legacy of Juan Perón (2016): Cast

Filmed during the final years of Franco’s Spain, this documentary captures a unique and secretive collaboration. Directors Solanas and Getino spent six months traveling between Madrid and Rome to film two lengthy documentaries with former Argentinian president Juan Perón. The project involved concealing film negatives and evading interference from López Rega. Years later, the filmmakers returned to Perón’s San Vicente residence, built with Evita, to create a further exploration of his legacy, incorporating previously unseen recordings of conversations and extensive archival research.
