My father’s hidden crimes

Bbc World Service
About this episode

Analía’s father was accused of being a government torturer — he said it was a lie.

A phone call turned Analía Kalinec’s comfortable life upside down. Her father was accused of crimes committed during the Argentine dictatorship twenty years previously, when around 30,000 people were disappeared by security forces. He denied it, but Analía decided to investigate. Her findings would change her view of the father she had loved.

Analía has written a book called Llevaré su Nombre (I Carry Your Name).

Presenter: Emily Webb Producer: Louise Morris Interpreter: Salomé Paulo
