“The Photographer of La 40” reveals the story of photographer Pedro Anibal Fuentes Berg, who is sent to take images in the clandestine Prison of La 40, a torture center created during the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961), in the Republic Dominican. Fuentes Berg feels the inevitable commitment to disseminate these images internationally to highlight the horrors that the opponents experienced inside the prison and decide to release them, so that they are known. Some of these photographs became icons of the barbarity of the Trujillo dictatorship.
