Amor America

Plot

These days, most citizens of the United States are appalled to hear of their country's socially orchestrated and widely approved genocide of its Native populations in the nineteenth century involving such methods as smallpox-infected blankets and outright murder. However, genocidal attitudes similar to those of nineteenth century America are still prevalent in many parts of the world, and aboriginal peoples and other cultural minorities are still in the process of being exterminated. This Argentine and West German documentary puts together the story of the extermination in the nineteenth century of the now virtually extinct Mapuche people of Argentina. Sadly, this act of genocide is still generally applauded even in today's Argentina. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
