4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: getting justice for those she knew and loved, those who

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: did not survive.

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: It was much more than a feeling. I knew that

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: I was being followed.

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: Late afternoon, nineteen seventy seven, Medium Lewin is running for

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: her life. She's nineteen. Argentina's military has taken power a

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 3: coup to bring back peace stability, to end with the

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 3: so called terrorists once and for all.

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: I turn my head and I see a dark red

13
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 2: Ford falcon and a long gun barrel hanging out from

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: one of the windows. They tackle me and they tell

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: me their.

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: Police Medium no what she has to do. She and

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: her fellow activists had prepared for this.

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: It was an order, don't get captured alive. I take

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: out the cyanide pill and I put it in my mouth.

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: The officers catch on and force me to spit it out.

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: Never imagine they would catch me alive.

22
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: At that moment, I just wanted to die.

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: He says. I am the man responsible for your life

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: and your death as long as you're good, nothing will

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: happen to you.

26
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 4: Medium Lewin Dearie Miriam Lewen, a nineteen year old student activist.

27
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: Four decades later, Medium is among the few to survive.

28
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: She's a respected journalist, but she can't shake her past.

29
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: Her fellow prisoners had been put on planes and tossed

30
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: into the sea.

31
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: Do you know where the planes use for their dead

32
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: flights are?

33
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: Then an Italian photojournalist comes into her life. These are

34
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: the guys who were responsible for the genocidal machine that

35
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: killed so many people. Together they will undertake an investigation

36
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: to solve one of the dictatorship's most heinous crimes.

37
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: This claimer was used to throw people to their deaths.

38
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 4: People I knew, people I loved. The pilot involved in

39
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: what were known as the death flight will be judged.

40
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: I still ask myself why did I survive? I'd say

41
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: it was to bring at least some of those pilots

42
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 4: of the death flights.
