Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Operation Condor was a US-supported cross-border assassination program across South America; this film was made while declassified documents were still emerging.
The 'forgotten' of the title refers not just to victims but to perpetrators deliberately erased from official memory—José's obscurity is his protection.
