Tres días de julio

January 2016 •Spanish

"Tres días de julio" shows what happened in the city of Cádiz in the hours prior to the coup d'état of July 18, 1936, as well as what happened until the moment the Cadiz capital succumbs to the rebels on the morning of Sunday the 19th. The documentary features the participation of historians, relatives of victims of reprisals, and even some direct testimonies of people who lived those tragic days in their youth. The city and province of Cádiz are described as a fundamental piece in the coup because, when it failed in the main cities of the country, they began to play a fundamental role in the strategy followed by the rebels in the immediate Civil War.

Barcellona, ferita aperta

July 2016 •Italian

Ordered personally by Mussolini, with the expression "martellamento diluito nel tempo", the bombings were a studied way of sowing terror, massacring citizens little by little and ending their sources of livelihood. The film provides little-known data from that episode, such as official documents that show that democratic Italy continued to receive money from Spain for its participation in the war. In 2013, the Barcelona Court accepted a complaint against the Italian pilots who participated in the bombings. The victims, for their part, are still waiting for Italy to apologize for these events.

Spain: A Country Divided

June 2022 •Spanish

Obsessively referring to the traumas and wounds that the Spanish civil war (1936-39) and Franco's dictatorship (1939-75) caused in their day no longer serves to explain the impassable abyss of incomprehension and hatred that the abject policies and radical positions adopted by both the right and the left in recent decades have opened up before the citizens of a country that is barely known beyond hackneyed cultural clichés.

El final de la ofensiva

September 2020 •Spanish

Gijón was one of the most bombed cities on the northern front during the Spanish civil war. This documentary confronts, on the one hand, the images of a propaganda video made by the rebel side in 1937, with the images of abundant graphic material of the time, which show a very different reality of the city.

The Man Who Was There

May 2013 •Spanish

The Spanish journalist Manuel Chaves Nogales (1897-1944) was always there where the news broke out: in the fratricidal Spain of 1936, in Bolshevik Russia, in Fascist Italy, in Nazi Germany, in occupied Paris or in the bombed London of World War II; because his job was to walk, see and tell stories, and thus fight against tyrants, at a time when it was necessary to take sides in order not to be left alone; but he, a man of integrity to the bitter end, never did so.
