“Filmed over six years and produced by Pedro Almodóvar, THE SILENCE OF OTHERS reveals the epic struggle of victims of Spain’s 40-year dictatorship under General Franco, as they organize a groundbreaking international lawsuit and fight a ‘pact of forgetting’ around the crimes they suffered.
This Goya, Emmy, and Peabody-winning film offers a cautionary tale about fascism and the dangers of forgetting the past and speaks powerfully to issues of transitional justice and universal jurisdiction.”
