Can democracy be built on forgetting?

Genre : Documentary

Runtime : 1H 35M

Director : Almudena Carracedo, Robert Bahar
Writer : Almudena Carracedo

Synopsis

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.
