The Silence of Others (El silencio de otros)
The Silence of Others (El silencio de otros)
Filmed over six years, The Silence of Others reveals the epic struggle of victims from Spain’s dictatorship (1939-1975) under General Francisco Franco. A powerful and poetic cautionary tale about fascism, and the dangers of forgetting the past, the award-winning documentary offers a cinematic portrait of the first attempt in history to prosecute crimes of Franco whose perpetrators have enjoyed impunity for decades due to a 1977 amnesty law. Executive produced by Pedro Almodóvar, the film brings to light a painful past that Spain is reluctant to face, even today, decades after the dictator’s death.

Join youth leaders from the Sunrise Movement Houston by showing up at our local Democratic office, where, together with members of our Harris County Democratic Party, we'll tell our stories, bring our signs, and demand our DNC members join us in calling on the DNC to host a #ClimateDebate.
