INHALT

Ácratas (meaning "Anarchists") is a 2000 Uruguayan documentary film. It was written and directed by Virginia Martínez, and premiered in Argentina in 2004. The film is about anarchism in Uruguay, and gives controversial insight into the minority and indigenous movement within the libertarian movement of the 1930s. It has received critical acclaim for its comprehensive documentation, and for the way its construction captivates the attention of the viewer, reinforcing the impact of the film. The film, long esteemed by cinephiles in Buenos Aires, also received recognition, winning First Prize for Documentary at the Festival del Cinema Latinoamericano di Trieste, and the second prize at the Festival "Contra el silencio todas las voces" of Mexico (both in 2000).
