Respect Within and Out In “Charro” by Oscar Casares, respect is an underlying theme that ties the whole story together. It weaves itself in and out of each scene as if it were its own character in the story. From having the respect for family or that of someone’s personal space, it is a constant throughout.

Whenever the female captives were pregnant, their children were stolen away right after

The story is a coming of age drama that documents a teenage girl’s coming of age through a relationship with a dance instructor whom she encounters during her family’s summer
Luis Puenzo's Official Story calls attention to one of Argentina's most infamous campaigns waged during President Jorge Rafael Videla's rule. Argentina transitioned to a dictatorship in 1983 following a coup d'état that led to the deposition of previous President Isabel Martinez de Peron.

However, as time has progressed, contemporary playwrights have shaken
strongest passions in the world. This love can drive a mother to do drastic deeds to save her children and her family. The mothers and the grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo truly exemplify the power of a mother’s love. Their love was shown during the Dirty War in Argentina in 1976.

The Political Performance of Motherhood: Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo During the Argentine dictatorship known as the Dirty War (1976-1983), thousands of people were systematically abducted by the government in order to eliminate all opposition to the regime.

on the set. Dirty Dancing, directed by Emile Ardolino, is a movie that makes people want to jump into the screen and be a part of the show.

Dear Students of the United States, I am not writing to you as a politician, nor as a mere politically- minded person, rather I am speaking to you as a husband and a father. In the middle of the Dirty war, 1978, my wife Agustina was taken from our home while in labor. Up to that point, it was the most devastating moment of my life. That was until I heard what had happened while she was retained there. She had given birth to her baby, and was murdered. Later the day of the execution, her name arose
