Survivors of Francisco Franco’s Spanish dictatorship work across two continents to organise a groundbreaking international lawsuit and fight a “pact of forgetting” about the crimes they suffered.
In Spain, survivors and human rights lawyers build a case that the Spanish courts refuse to hear.
In Argentina, a judge takes on the court case using the principle of universal jurisdiction that allows foreign courts to investigate crimes against humanity.
This multiple award-winning documentary, filmed over six years, is a cautionary tale about fascism and the dangers of forgetting the past.
