"The Disappeared" relives the horrors of Argentina's Dirty War (1976-83) through the experience of Horacio Pietragalla, a young man raised by the maid of the officer who kidnapped him after the military brutally murdered his parents. The film follows Horacio as he reconstructs the cause for which his real parents gave their lives, and, through this search, reclaims his true identity. This personal journey internalizes the tragedy that ravaged the country for seven years and exposes polarized views on state-driven terrorism in groundbreaking interviews with top military officials, concentration camp victims, human rights activists, journalists who covered the events, and members of Horacio's surrogate and biological families. This documentary represents the first time a filmmaker has followed a child of desaparecidos in his journey of discovery for a period of five years, capturing the only case in which a person was able to recover the remains of both parents. It also records the first interviews ever granted by top military officers who had remained silent for nearly a quarter of a century.

They are not "impersonators". They are Abraham Lincoln presenters. When they don the iconic ensemble - the hat, the whiskers, the full-length coat, sometimes even a strategically glued pencil eraser for the facial mole - most are answering a calling. "If you are going to put this man's coat on and if you are going to tell this man's story, it comes with a certain responsibility", says Dennis Boggs, a fifteen year veteran Lincoln Presenter, who helps John Mansfield, a rookie Lincoln, on his journey to become a Lincoln. Dennis and John are members of the Association of Lincoln Presenters (ALP), a national organization of living historians in 38 states. Most members of the ALP are hardcore presenters, some are even scholars. But not all Lincolns take their role so seriously. On weekend nights in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee, you can find Mike Cox turning heads, even in the bustling, tumultuous streets that make up music city's tourist district. Just as with all of the Lincoln presenters, people flock to this facsimile of Lincoln, who brings out strong emotions in those who see him. But not all of the responses are good. Modern day Lincolns have to deal with, as one presenter put it, "those who would still fight the civil war". Being Lincoln-Men With Hats is the story of what it means to "be a Lincoln" - what it means to the individuals that portray him, and what Lincoln's image means to the rest of us.
