Examines the life and legacy of Alejo Julio Argentino Roca Paz, an army general who brutally suppressed Native Americans to allow for 'the march of civilization' and who, as President of Argentina from October 1880 to October 1886, and again from October 1898 to October 1904, passed the famous 'laicist laws' which nationalized a series of functions that were previously under the control of the Church, but whose administration was marred by terrible financial speculation and government corruption.
