Fuckland is an Argentine film released in 2000 and directed by José Luis Márques. It is the first Latin American film of the avant garde Dogme 95 movement.
It was recorded illegally in the Falkland Islands in 1999 and states that the only way to make the islands Argentine is to populate them with Argentinians by making all the Falklander women pregnant.
The film features only seven professional actors. They improvised their scenes with local residents, who were not always made aware that they were taking part in the production of a feature film. It was made without the permission of the local government.
[edit] Plot
The film takes place decades after the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom for the control of the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean.
An Argentinian (Fabián Stratas) saves money for a one-week trip to the Falkland Islands (or "Fuckland", as he calls them) with the purpose of getting a Falklander woman pregnant (Camilla Heane). This follows his theory that if only 500 Argentinians did the same each year, the islands would soon be overrun with half-Argentines, and he would be the head of a "sexual invasion"[1].
