Description:
Set during the 16th century tumult of exploration and first settlements along the Parana River in Argentina, River of Sorrows, is told by people marginalized and usually invisible in history. Mestizo soldier Bias de Acuna's tells of his unrequited love, Maria Muratore's amazing exploits, but it's not Blas but his second wife who insures that Maria is not forgotten. By constantly retelling the story, she creates a larger-than-life image that embraces all the women who kept the settlements alive, propped up the men, put loaded guns in their hands, and became the collective memory of a nation that, 450 years later, would be home to the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo.
