The Documentary and the history of the defeated: the lost decade in Ecuador through the documentaries on Alfaro Vive Carajo. DOI: 10.37785/nw.v2n2.a3

Abstract

The use of the documentary as a historical testimony helps to build a larger historical narration. This is especially interesting in view of the creation of a "history of the defeated" that brings visions against the doctrinal interpretation of the past. For this we will be based on the documentaries of Isabel Dávalos “Alfaro vive, del sueño al caos “(2007) and Mauricio Samaniego "Alfaro Vive Carajo" (2015) as examples of the rescue of other glances referring to the guerrilla conflict of Alfaro Vive Carajo (AVC ) at ecuador during the 80’s.
