Dad's Preview: This film intimately portrays a normal family, one that lives, laughs, and occasionally squabbles. They could be any of us. Yet, they are swept up in the horrors of politics and regime change. It is terrifying how men enter their home and take their father. They show now warrant, no  evidence, no proof. Just obey and don't question things. This story really happened. The shining star of this film is Fernanda Torres - her performance is captivating. This story is still today repeating itself around the globe, and it can happen to any of us.
