The Silence of Others: Screening and Discussion

6:30pm–9:00pm

Join the Bud Werner Memorial Library for a free public screening of The Silence of Others followed by discussion.

The Silence of Others reveals the epic struggle of victims of Spain’s 40-year dictatorship under Francisco Franco as they continue to seek justice four decades into democracy. Filmed over six years, the film follows the survivors organizing the groundbreaking “Argentine Lawsuit” to fight a state-imposed amnesia of crimes against humanity, where the emotional court battle uncovers a country still divided over its fascist history. Shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature for the 91st Academy Awards. Winner, 2019 Goya Award for Best Documentary Film. A co-production of ITVS. Co-presented by Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB).
