The fourth of an eight-part series on South American society.
The Frustrated Colossus
Argentina was once famous for the European elegance of its high society, the machismo of its gauchos and the tango. Forty years ago it was the tenth richest country in the world. Under military dictatorship, it suffered the agony of 'the dirty war'. But then the generals were put on trial by an elected civilian government. Jack Pizzey 's investigation of Argentina took him from the pampas to the presidential palace. Produced and directed by GEOFFREY BARNES
