Opium, la argentina beatnik

Opium, la argentina beatnik (2016) is a documentary film directed by Diego Arandojo.

During the 1960s there was a group of writers in Buenos Aires who, influenced by the North American Beatnik movement, called themselves Opium. Anarchists, rebels with a cause, populated Buenos Aires nights in bars like El Moderno, promoting a different movement for a different time. This film addresses not only Opium, but the sixties itself, and its collateral protagonists.
