Argentina's Death Flights

In 1976, a military coup led to an authoritarian regime in Argentina. The military and its new leader, Lieutenant General Jorge Rafaél Videla, then launched a campaign to eradicate political dissidents. Thousands of Argentine citizens were kidnapped, illegally detained, tortured, and killed. Journalist Miriam Lewin survived. All these years later, she thinks she maybe has an explanation why.

Miriam’s story is the subject of the documentary audio series, Avenger. Directed by Fisher Stevens, executive produced by Steve Fishman, hosted by Andres Caballero, and featuring Alexis Bledel as a voice actor, Avenger is a production of Orbit Media. It’s available on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.
