The Hour of the Furnaces (1968, La hora de los hornos: Notas y testimonios sobre el neocolonialismo, la violencia y la liberación) is a four-hour 1968 documentary film directed by Octavio Getino and Fernando Solanas, a documentary on neo-colonialism and violence in Latin America. 'The paradigm of revolutionary activist cinema', it addresses the politics of the 'Third worldist' films and Latin-American manifesto of the late 1960s.
In the 1960s and 1970s, documentary film was often conceived as a political weapon against neocolonialism and capitalism in general, especially in Latin America. La Hora de los hornos influenced a whole generation of filmmakers.
Reception
Writing in the New York Times, critic Vincent Canby described the movie as "a unique film exploration of a nation's soul."
