Zombies in the Sugar Cane Field: The Documentary (2019)
Tucumán, Argentina, 1965. Three years before George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead was released, director Ofelio Linares Montt shot Zombies in the Sugar Cane Field, which turned out to be both a horror film and a political statement. It was a success in the US, but could not be shown in Argentina due to Juan Carlos Onganía's dictatorship, and was eventually lost. Writer and researcher Luciano Saracino embarks on the search for the origins of this cursed work. cinema on cinema, movie business, plagiarism, mockumentary, docudrama, fake documentary, zombie apocalypse, 1960s, political repression, argentinean cinema, cinema history, film censorship, semi-fiction
