In
1948, C.M. Hardt’s grandfather was murdered while in
the custody of the Spanish Civil Guard. Over fifty years later,
she goes back to Spain to find out the truth about why he
was killed. |
Today,
the truth about Franco’s war crimes
is finally coming out and mass graves
are being discovered across the entire country.
THANKS to the Internet,
YOU CAN FINALLY SEE Death in El Valle

my DVD.

She
learns of the secret war that led him to his death. She unearths
the hatred and fear of a village trying to forget its past
and confronts her own family with a story even they don’t
want her to discover.
She captures it all – and faces her grandfather’s
killer – in Death in El Valle.
It’s been nearly 60 years since my grandfather was murdered,
BUT I haven’t given up. It’s outrageous that my
film still hasn’t aired in Spain, but I made a vow to
my grandmother that “someday the whole world would know
what had really happened” and I intend to keep that
vow.

"
A brash young New Yorker armed with a video
camera and determined to find out what had
appened in a part of Spain's hidden past
ruffled many feathers."
“…Secrets
are held by one generation from the next
and neighbors deny memory of the past before
cheerfully accusing other towns-people
of murder and betrayal.”

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve
the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he
sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other
from a million different centers of energy and daring, those
ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest
walls of oppression and resistance.
Robert F. Kennedy
