During Argentina's Dirty War of the seventies it was not unusual for soldiers and their wives, particularly those unable to have children, to be given the babies of the young adults the soldiers tortured and killed. For These Eyes is an intimate account of a grandmother's sixteen-year search for the granddaughter she lost to this system of illegal adoptions when her daughter and son-in-law, Uruguayan activists in Buenos Aires, were “disappeared.” Not the least of the film's revelations is the international nature of the Dirty War, sanctioned across borders in Latin America. Mariana, raised Daniela by her Secret Service agent father, is the unwitting poster child for a campaign to identify and return the children of the disappeared to their original families. Where her needs and feelings, and those of her grandmother, intersect with history, justice, memory, and love is the locus of this detailed, fascinating, and anguished documentary.
