Grad Student's Documentary Hit Opens in TheatersGloJo student Adriana Loeff's documentary film about the most memorable music in her native Uruguay opened recently in Montevideo.

The film tells the stories behind "the songs that made history" and touched the lives of Uruguayans over the past 50 years. It shows how the tunes became symbols and how they survived the passage of time.
