Splinters

About This Movie

Splinters offers a raw and haunting look at a tragedy that reshaped a community. The documentary dives deep into the aftermath of the 1995 Rio Tercero Military Factory explosion, weaving personal narratives with broader societal implications. Natalia Garayalde's perspective as a twelve-year-old during the event gives it a unique emotional weight—her reflections feel genuine and poignant. The pacing is deliberate; it doesn’t rush through the grief or the chaos, allowing viewers to absorb the full impact of what unfolded. The use of archival footage combined with present-day interviews creates an atmospheric contrast that underscores the lingering effects of trauma on those left behind. It’s a powerful exploration of resilience amidst devastation, and a reminder of the scars carried long after the dust settles.
