- Summary:
- "Unbeknownst to much of the world, in Spain today, torture victims live just blocks from their notorious police torturers, who walk free every day. Tens of thousands of parents continue to search for their children who were likely stolen at birth. And families desperate to recover their loved ones' bodies from thousands of mass graves across Spain are blocked by their own government from doing so. 'The Silence of Others' reveals the struggle of victims of these, and other crimes, from General Franco's 40-year dictatorship in Spain (1939-1975), whose perpetrators have enjoyed impunity for decades due to a 1977 amnesty law. It brings to light a painful past that Spain is reluctant to face even today, decades after the dictator's death. And it tells the story of how victims and their descendants are fighting back, seeking justice more than 7,000 miles away from home."--Screen.
- "Reveals the struggle of victims and survivors of Spain's 40-year dictatorship under General Franco as they organize the groundbreaking "Argentine Lawsuit" and fight a state-imposed amnesia of crimes against humanity."--POV website.
