Heart of the City - Lights & Shadows of Argentina's History

From life before the colonial times, the struggle and war of independence, the attempt to exterminate the indigenous and the Afro-Argentinians, and the waves of immigrants that forever changed the face of the city and the country.

The “barn of the world” and how one of the richest countries on earth, in the wake of the 20th century, ended in one of the biggest economic crises of the planet a century later.

The lights and shadows behind the myth of the “Europe of the Americas”.

Tango, football, literature, psychotherapy, politics, dictatorships, and resistance, the history of Argentina has all of the ingredients for a passionate drama. And that reflects on its population.

“To me, Buenos Aires is eternal, like water or air“ ( as the famed writer Jorge Luis Borges once said)
