Wiki.
A Twelve-Year Night (Spanish: La noche de 12 años) is a 2018 drama film directed by Álvaro Brechner. It premiered in Official Selection at the 75th Venice International Film Festival, and it was selected as the Uruguayan entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards, but it was not nominated. The film won the Golden Pyramid Award at the 40th Cairo International Film Festival. It is a co-production between Uruguay, Spain, Argentina, France and Germany.
The film follows the twelve-year incarceration of members of the Tupamaros, a left-wing urban guerrilla group active in the 1960s and 1970s, nine of whom were held as "hostages" between 1972 and 1985. It dramatises the experiences of José Mujica, Mauricio Rosencof and Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro. Mujica later became the 40th president of Uruguay from 2010 to 2015.
