Franco on Trial: The Spanish Nuremberg?

History/Politics, Spain/Germany 2018

This documentary follows a groundbreaking legal attempt to hold the Franco regime in Spain accountable for crimes committed between 1936 and 1975. When a Spanish judge's attempt to prosecute crimes from the Franco era failed in 2010, the victims turned to Argentina. The film follows Argentine judge María Servini as she pursues international arrest warrants against former regime officials, blending archival footage with current footage to reveal a long-suppressed chapter of European history and the ongoing struggle for justice.
