Talk at ORT on the documentary *The Coup: 30 Years Later*

October 31, 2003
Alfonso Lessa, a professor in ORT’s Bachelor’s Program in Journalism, gave a talk to students in the program about the documentary series.

This ten-part documentary series, with each episode lasting half an hour, examines the events leading up to the 1973 coup d'état, some of the key events that took place during the dictatorship, and the transition to democracy.

The documentaries are based on the book *State of War* by Lessa, who also served as director, screenwriter, and host of this television series.
