La Isla

In July 2005 a huge explosion in the Guatemalan capital leads to the discovery of a historic archive of Guatemala’s national police. On the grounds of today’s police academy once stood the Island, the secret prison of the notorious Policia Nacional squads. Aided by an extraordinary visual and emotional interaction, the film traces the story of a tragedy of inconceivable atrocities. It is also the story of a young generation of archive workers willing to free their society from the stranglehold of its own history.
