"La historia oficial" (The Official Story) is a 1985 Argentine film directed by Luis Puenzo that explores the effects of Argentina's Dirty War during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The story follows Alicia, a high school history teacher who begins to question the origins of her adopted daughter, Gaby. As Alicia delves deeper into the past, she discovers the truth about her daughter’s origins, which are tied to the political repression and human rights violations carried out by the military government. This revelation forces Alicia to confront her own complicity in the oppressive regime and challenges her beliefs about history, personal responsibility, and the nature of truth. The film highlights themes of memory, trauma, and the personal impacts of political turmoil. It received critical acclaim and won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
