The Silence of Others
“Can democracy be built on forgetting?”
Documentary
The story of the tortuous struggle against the silence of the victims of the dictatorship imposed by General Franco after the victory of the rebel side in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1975). In a democratic country, but still ideologically divided, the survivors seek justice as they organize the so-called “Argentinian lawsuit” and denounce the legally sanctioned pact of oblivion that intends to hide the crimes they were subjects of.
VIBE
A profound and deeply moving testament to the enduring power of memory and the relentless pursuit of justice. It's a stark, unflinching look at historical trauma and the resilience of the human spirit against oppressive silence.
