由Fernando Solanas监制并任摄影和剪辑，找来自己当年的老搭挡Octavio Getino和一群“解放电影小组”的成员，个个都是阿根廷新浪潮里的革命派人物，拍摄了这部长达210分钟共12章节的黑白纪录片，真实记录下1969年5月29日阿根廷人民走上科尔多巴市的街头反抗翁加尼亚（Ongania）军事专政的场景，阿根廷反抗独裁争取自由之路由此开始。
“解放电影小组”（Grupo Cine Liberación）由Solanas和Octavio Getino、Gerardo Vallejo三人组建，吸收了一批当时优秀的新浪潮导演，以拍摄纪录片为主，虽然其成员各自的政治信仰不尽相同，有些信仰马克思主义，有些则推崇贝隆主义，但对独裁专治的共同憎恶使他们走到了一起。而“解放电影小组”也与阿根廷左翼先锋导演Raymundo Gleyzer的“Cine de la Base”、古巴ICAIC的革命电影、巴西新浪潮、及玻利维亚的Jorge Sanjines共同奠定了拉美第三世界电影运动的基础。
本片是继《燃火的时刻》后拉美影史上又一部重要的政治纪录片，在71年柏林电影节上全体创作人员共同获得了FIPRESCI奖。
