La noche de San Blas
Directed by Juan Carlos Maneglia
The evening of the day dedicated to Saint Blas, patron saint of Paraguay, Thursday, February 2, 1989, seemed peaceful. However, the night brought an event that took almost everyone by surprise. A coup d'état deposed General Alfredo Stroessner, dictator for 35 years, the longest in all of South America. The following morning, citizens took to the streets that, for decades, had been controlled by the police. This is a documentary that shows the events that followed.
