THE HISTORY

15 immigrants died on February 6, 2014 in an attempt to illegally enter Spanish territory that was dissolved by the Civil Guard with rubber balls and smoke canisters. The images are clear: the agents shot towards the area where these people were swimming and did not help anyone when the immigrants were "on top of each other." Metromuster (creators of 'Ciutat Morta') and the Observatori DESC association co-produce this new documentary to "make visible the work of NGOs, social movements and journalists" to reconstruct what happened that morning and "push" the judicial investigation.
