Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Spain's 'Pact of Forgetting' after Franco's death meant these stories were literally illegal to tell in public until the late 1970s. This film is an act of exorcism.
Many of these interviewees died without seeing their resistance legally recognized — Spain didn't formally acknowledge the maquis as combatants until 2007.
