This movie below was made in 2001 and it shows in explicit detail how the neoliberals robbed Argentina. It is one of the best documentaries I've seen showing neoliberalism's brutal effect on a society. Political parties both left and right kept promising to change things for the better, but when they got in power just carried on with the same old failed policies.
Now you expect double crossing from the right, but the left were just as bad. One populist leftist politician even went about with casual clothes and long hair but as soon as he got elected he got his haircut, put on a suite, and then went about privatising everything making himself and his buddies very rich indeed. Even leading trade unionists sold out to the money, and ordinary workers took shares in their newly privatised companies only for those shares to become worthless as their companies got asset stripped and closed down.
It has English subtitles but I found it riveting to watch just the same.
