The box gathers three elements: records of political speeches of the five Presidents, their official portraits and pictures of their tragic deaths engraved on bronze plates, and a series of declassified files about the US policies regarding these countries, some of them highly censored. The three elements are contradictory to each other: utopian discourses, dystopian archival documents, and unsolved deaths are part of the same history but will never fit.
