On November 3, 1995, the Military Factory in Río Tercero, Córdoba, exploded. Thousands of projectiles were fired against the very town that produced them. At 12 years old, while trying to escape the blasts, I captured the destruction with a video camera. Twenty years later, I revisited those archives. The explosion concealed the largest arms trafficking in which the Argentine government was involved. The city continued to grow despite the tragedy, but the threat from the industrial and military complex still persists.
