Perón and the Jews
In this documentary film, Israeli-Argentinian filmmaker Shlomo Slutzky embarks on a personal journey to confront accusations against his late father, labeled a “Gorilla” in 1950s Argentina for alleged pro-military and anti-democratic views during the Perón regime. Through conversations with his father’s contemporaries, historians, and witnesses in both Argentina and Israel, Slutzky explores not only his family’s story but also the broader experience of Jews as a vulnerable minority—sometimes embraced, but often scapegoated in times of political turmoil. Perón and the Jews reveals the fragility of acceptance and the ever-present risk of discrimination.
