Censorship
Because Los Inundados depicted the hardships of poor residents living in areas that are subject to floods, the film was banned in Argentina as being contrary to the national image the federal government wished to promote.[1] The film was screened at the Venice Film Festival in 1962 where it shared the Prima Opera Award with David and Lisa.
