Presented by Pedro Almodovar and released in partnership with Semilla Verde Productions
Filmed over six years, 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. The 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

- “The film that wants to stop Spain forgetting.” – The Guardian
- “An ELEGANT reckoning, unfolding with all the force of a CLASSIC POLITICAL THRILLER” – Screen Daily
