THE SILENCE OF OTHERS

Unbeknownst to much of the world, in Spain today, torture victims live just blocks from their notorious police torturers, who walk free every day. Tens of thousands of parents continue to search for their children who were likely stolen at birth. And families desperate to recover their loved ones鈥 bodies from thousands of mass graves across Spain are blocked by their own government from doing so. Filmed over six years, THE SILENCE OF OTHERS reveals the epic struggle of victims of Spain鈥檚 40-year dictatorship under General Franco, as they organize a groundbreaking international lawsuit and fight a 鈥減act of forgetting鈥 around the crimes they suffered. A cautionary tale about fascism and the dangers of forgetting the past.

Free Screening for all
