This 54-minute documentary tells the story of Guatemala’s National Police Historical Archive (Archivo Histórico de la Policia Nacional—AHPN) intertwined with narratives of past human rights abuses and the dramatic effects they had on specific individuals and the nation as a whole. In addition, it highlights present-day efforts to preserve collective memories and bring justice and reconciliation to the country. This documentary is the result of a collaboration between academic units at the UO and AHPN.

Gabriela Martínez is associate director, CSWS, and associate professor, School of Journalism and Communication.
