SOLDADO is the product of the collective work of more than a dozen filmmakers and activists who came together out of affection and intrigue for the figure of Guillermo Moreno. Many of us even met each other during the course of this project, but we all agree that we will be comrades forever. It was the year 2014 when we first outlined some of the ideas for the peronist documentary we wanted to make, which changed its shape with each new day of filming and every hour spent in the editing room, but from the very beginning we knew it would be called SOLDADO.
