Under the Flags, the Sun is a documentary that uncovers a vast collection of forgotten archival footage from Paraguay's former dictatorship, revealing how media and propaganda were used to shape a nation's identity. Through newly rediscovered newsreels, television broadcasts, propaganda films, and declassified documents, the film exposes the hidden mechanisms that helped sustain Alfredo Stroessner's 35-year regime. The documentary explores powerful themes of memory, political control, historical truth, and the lasting influence of authoritarian governments. Its innovative use of recovered archives demonstrates how documentary filmmaking can bring the past back to life, making it especially relevant in today's discussions about misinformation and political power. Both gripping and eye-opening, the film offers a rare look into one of Latin America's longest dictatorships and shows how forgotten images can transform our understanding of history.
The documentary is in Guaraní, Spanish, German, English, and Portuguese, with Dutch subtitles.
