Pablo Destito | Documentary, Series

2020 | 25 minutes | Argentina

Bernardo Kliksberg explores Nobel laureate Adolfo Pérez Esquivel’s fight for human rights, enduring repression and torture for an egalitarian ideal.

Synopsis

Bernardo Kliksberg reviews the life of Argentinean Adolfo Pérez Esquivel. Trained as an architect and sculptor, in 1974, he left to coordinate nonviolent organizations in the region as secretary-general of the newly formed Servicio Paz y Justicia (Service for Peace and Justice, or SERPAJ)

In 1976, a military dictatorship took power in Argentina, and their “dirty war” imposed a brutal crackdown on democratic rights, targeting artists, teachers, journalists, activists, and intellectuals. Pérez Esquivel began a campaign to convince the United Nations of the need for a Human Rights Commission sending a record of all human rights breaches SERPAJ uncovered.

He was awarded the 1980 Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership and courageous defense of human rights.

Dr. Bernardo Kliksberg is an Argentine Doctor of Economics, recognized around the world as the founder of a new discipline, social management, and as a pioneer of development ethics, social capital and corporate social responsibility.
