One Man's War
One Man's War ★★½ 1990 (PG-13)
A human-rights crusader in repressive Paraguay won't be silenced, even after government thugs torture and murder his son. He fights obsessively to bring the killers to justice. The true story of the Joel Filartiga family is heartfelt but ultimately a dramatic letdown; an epilogue proves that full story hasn't been told. 91m/ C VHS, DVD . Anthony Hopkins, Norma Aleandro, Fernanda Torres, Ruben Blades; D: Sergio Toledo.
