Santa Cruz por ejemplo… - The Murder of Santa Cruz is an Austrian-Spanish documentary by the filmmakers and ethnologists Günter Schwaiger and Hermann Peseckas about the Franco terror based on the story of a small village in which 70 years after a massacre by Franco henchmen the Mass grave is opened so that the bones of the murdered can be fed to a proper burial after a genetic analysis.
In addition to Austria and Spain, the documentary also attracted attention in other foreign countries, for example in the USA . The film was shown in selected cinemas, but was mainly used in the scientific and museum sectors.
content
Starting with the opening of the grave in 2003, Schwaiger and Peseckas trace the events in the village of Santa Cruz de la Salceda in the province of Burgos in 1936 and try to provide background information about the events that cannot be found in Spanish historiography.
Reviews
“ The Santa Cruz Murder is an artfully restrained film, without big words, without huge takes; The focus is on the village, the children and grandchildren, other survivors of the events, women above all, who overcome their mistrust and fear and confide in Schwaiger what they have seen, why they have remained silent for so long, what moved them, now To take part. Your excitement, captured in calm images. "
