As a country, Argentina is no stranger to political crisis. And, in recent years, crisis has struck again. The Argentine peso, once equal to one dollar, fell to thirty cents. Withdrawals were frozen. Jobs were slashed. People took to the streets, protested, rallied against the banks. Some were killed in riots.

CRY FOR ARGENTINA confronts this issue through the personal stories of a handful of women. Among theses are two who competed on a grimly humorous reality television show, whose major prize is a minor sales job.
