An austere and important example of testimonial cinema, No olvidar gives voice and dignity to the women of the Maureira family as they recount their long struggle to understand the fate of a group of men—including five from their family—captured by military police days after the 1973 coup. Devoid of any sensationalism or narrative intervention, No olvidar instead patiently allows the women to tell of their six-year search and quiet defiance of authorities who denied and even mocked the fate of their kinfolk who, we quickly learn, were tortured and killed in the most horrific fashion in an abandoned mine. Agüero’s powerful short film, which he signed as Pedro Meneses for safety reasons, became a tragic monument and historic act of resistance by making available for the first time testimony that indicted, with irrefutable clarity and power, the criminal actions of the Pinochet dictatorship that until then had been obfuscated or outright denied in official media channels. Even though the government sought to erase the evidence by dynamiting the mine where the murders took place, Agüero refused to allow this heinous crime to be erased or denied in tribute to the extraordinary strength and dignity of the Maureira women in their pursuit not of vengeance but of justice
