“Simón, el hijo del pueblo”

Documentary that develops the story of the legendary anarchist Simón Radowitzky. The story begins to unfold on May 1st, 1909, when the police repress a massive anarchist march, leaving dead and wounded. A few months later, the carriage of Ramón Falcón, the police chief who commanded the repression, explodes and is blown into the air. For the attack, a young Ukrainian is arrested: Simón Radowitzky. The film attempts to reveal who Simón was, what his story is, and what the family legacy is of that immigrant who became a key figure of Argentine anarchism.
