The Silence of Others

• Directed by Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar, USA / Spain, 2018, 96 minutes.

Emmy-winning filmmakers Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar follow a movement that begins in a kitchen and evolves into a groundbreaking international lawsuit, bringing together hundreds of victims and survivors who have broken Spain’s “pact of silence.” Winner of Spain’s Goya Award for Best Documentary Feature, the film raises profound questions about how societies grapple with legacies of state violence and what to do with perpetrators of crimes against humanity in their midst.
