On this edition of Your Call, we’ll speak with the director of The Silence of Others, a documentary that tells the stories of victims of Spain’s dictatorship under General Francisco Franco and their search for justice.
The film follows survivors for six years in their struggle to ensure Spain faces its past and their efforts to organize a groundbreaking lawsuit that sought trials for crimes against humanity. How are survivors of Franco's dictatorship organizing against state-imposed amnesia?
