Spoils of War

Botín de guerra (English: Spoils of War) is a 2000 Argentine documentary film directed and written by David Blaustein with Luis Alberto Asurey. The film premiered on 11 April 2000 in Buenos Aires. David Blaustein won two awards for Best Director and a 2nd and 3rd.

Overview

This second film from Argentine producer David Blaustein is a documentary concerning one particular result of Argentina's "Dirty War" period (1976–1983): the "appropriation" of children by members and friends of the right-wing military junta.

Students and young people considered political opponents of the regime were "disappeared" into a number of secret prisons spread throughout the country; some were couples or married, and some cases the women prisoners were pregnant. It is estimated more than 500 children and infants were taken from their "disappeared" parents. In some cases these children were placed at orphanages or foster homes; in others, the children were simply taken by right-wing families to raise. In almost all cases, the children grew up without any knowledge of the circumstances of their adoption or the fate of their biological parents.

Al-Anfal

Sūrat al-Anfāl (Arabic: سورة الأنفال‎, "The Spoils of War") is the eighth chapter of the Qur'an, with 75 verses. It is a Medinan sura, completed after the Battle of Badr. It forms a pair with the next sura, At-Tawba.

Content

Badr

Badr is also the subject of Sura 8: al-Anfāl, which details military conduct and operations. Though the Sura does not name Badr, it describes the battle several times:

These verses highlighted both the chance encounter of the battle (both sides had blundered into each other) as well as the underestimation of both the size of Meccan army by the Muslims and the fierceness of the Muslim army by the Meccans. The Meccan army was described in the second verses, and "Satan" may be referring to Amr ibn Hisham, who was hated by the Muslims and allegedly pushed for the battle repeatedly.

^{[Quran 8:17]}

One source states that Ubay ibn Khalaf was ransomed after Badr, but was killed by Muslims with a spear in the Battle of Uhud (625 CE). Verse ^{[Quran 8:17]} was revealed in this occasion.
