Argentina's coup d'tat in 1976 resulted in one of the bloodiest dictatorships in its record - 30,000 people were abducted, tortured, and eventually "disappeared". In addition, hundreds of newborns created to pregnant politics prisoners were stolen of their doomed mothers and given to families with armed forces ties or who were collaborators of the program. Anala was one particular children, increased without suspecting that she was used. At 27, she learned that her name wasn't what she believed it to be, that her parents weren't her real parents, and that the farce conceived by the dictatorship had managed to make it through through more than two decades of democracy. In My Name Is Victoria, it is no longer Anala, but Victoria who tells us her report, in her own words: the life of a young and growing middle-class female from the outskirts of Buenos Aires with strong politics convictions. Growing up, she thought she was the dark-colored sheep of the family, with ideas diametrically opposed to her parents'. It wasn't until she learned the reality about her origins and the stunning revelation of her uncle's participation in her parents' murder and in her kidnapping and adoption that she could fully accept her legacy. Today, as the youngest person in congress in Argentina, she has reclaimed her identity and her real name: Victoria Donda. This is Victoria's story, from the moment her parents were abducted to the day she was elected to parliament.
