A look at how history still haunts modern Argentina. The horror of what happened during Argentina's brutal military dictatorship is once again dividing the country. The government is finally bringing prosecutions against the alleged perpetrators of the so-called disappearances of left wingers during the seventies and early eighties. And it has emerged that some of the victims had children who were sent away for adoption. Maria Belen Gentile has now been reunited with her grandmother, having learned that her birth parents were killed in their early twenties, and she is part of a campaign for justice. But what about the victims of the other side? Arturo Larrabure's father was a soldier kidnapped and allegedly tortured and murdered by left wing guerrillas - and he thinks justice should work both ways.
