In the year 2000 a group of former political prisoners opened a call to all Uruguayan women to write about what they felt and experienced during the dictatorship. This unprecedented call was heeded by more than 400 writings. These texts were written mostly by women who are not professional writers. The texts tell the daily anecdotes that allow us to visualize what everyday life was like under a dictatorship. I started to draft this documentary film project from the basis of these written testimonies and my own personal relationship with some of the authors.

"Piecing Memories Together" integrates the aesthetic, the historic, and the personal dimensions, inviting us to discover the Uruguayan dictatorship through an intimate approach.
