Pico Reja. The Truth hidden by the earth

The Spanish Civil War followed by Franco’s regime has left a legacy of terror: tens of thousands of murdered civilians, buried anonymously and lost to oblivion. Not only were they denied the right to live but also the right to a dignified burial, the right to be remembered. Decades later, Spain has been left riddled with mass graves.  The grave known as Pico Reja is one of the largest mass graves in Europe. Located in the cemetery of Seville, it is estimated that more than 2000 civilian victims of Francoist repression are buried here. “Pico Reja” is not a history documentary, but rather a reconstruction of historical memory in an attempt to create a space for reflection, analyzing the past and the keys for understanding the present.
