I broke my movie virginity in Uruguay, a country I'd love to visit but realise that this may be the closest I get.
Uruguay is the most stable and progressive country in South America yet it had a dark history when the army overthrew the government. 'A Twelve-Year Night' is a biopic of 3 revolutionaries who were kept in solitary confinement for 12 years!
I doubt I could do what they did. The lack of books and paper would've driven me insane.
When democracy returned in the Mid 80s, they got their freedom. The writer became the Cultural Director for the arts in Montevideo. One became Senator. Another became President in 2010.
Hopefully 'Twelve-Year Night' was merely my virtual introduction to a real flight across the Atlantic one day.
