Women's Memoirs
The Punta de Rieles prison was where most female political prisoners were incarcerated during the dictatorship in Uruguay.

This documentary is an attempt to reconstruct life at the prison through the testimony of some of the hundreds of women who were there and who resisted the military regime's attempts to grind them down and destroy them.
