Juanita

Juanita is the story of a journalist and poet who lived through a century of political struggles in Argentina. During the democratic eras, she had a vibrant journalistic career, published, won awards, fought, studied, and grew. During the dictatorships, she experienced persecution, exile, and isolation. This documentary shows, through Juanita's story, the glory days of Radio Argentina in the 1940s, the birth of Peronism, the internal struggles within this movement, and the effects of dictatorships. It was only in old age that she wrote her best poems, compiled, and published her works.
