From Executive Producer Pedro Almodovar, The Silence of Others reveals the epic struggle of victims of Spain’s 40-year dictatorship under General Franco, who continue to seek justice to this day. Filmed over six years, the film follows victims and survivors as they organize the groundbreaking "Argentine Lawsuit" and fight a state-imposed amnesia of crimes against humanity. The film was broadcast as Swiss Premiere at the 2018 International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights.
