Juan Diego Botto

Juan Diego Botto is an Argentinian-Spanish actor with a strong personal and political background. He is the son of Diego Fernando Botto, one of the 30,000 people who disappeared during the Videla dictatorship in Argentina. This connection makes him a vocal advocate for remembering the atrocities of the dictatorship, particularly as the 50th anniversary of the coup is commemorated. Currently, Botto is also in the news due to his involvement in the film "Altas capacidades," a comedy that explores themes of class and social dynamics. The film has been receiving critical attention for its uncomfortable and satirical portrayal of privileged society. Botto's personal history and his participation in socially relevant films contribute to his ongoing relevance in both political and cinematic spheres.
