Sweat Glands, Sweat Lands

A pig is roasted over an open fire, the spit attached to the back wheel of a car. When the car accelerates the pig turns at different speeds, while the voice of Residente Calle 13, a young reggaetón singer from Puerto Rico, addresses the viewer in Spanish. He draws on examples of non-human social organizations, such as those among bats, termites, and ants, for possible alternative modes of being-in-common and describes a possible path for contemporary experience. The world he describes is an antagonistic state of order and disorder, civility and barbarity, in an age of armed globalization.

La venganza de Ramón Ramón

Antonio Ramón Ramón, originally from Andalusia, takes it upon himself to avenge the death of his brother and of hundreds of workers murdered in a strike in Chile in 1907, when the army opened fire against the crowd of twenty thousand striking workers. The target of his revenge is the General who gave the order to shoot. The documentary proposes a historical revision of the events that, one hundred years later, would turn Antonio Ramón Ramón into a symbol of the rights of the Chilean workers remembered by the nation’s labor and trade union movements.

El alma de los verdugos

The documentary focuses on the last Argentine military dictatorship and its repressors. Argentina is "the country that most cruelly carried out the sinister plan to eliminate social groups for political reasons," according to Garzón. It includes harrowing testimonies from victims and executioners. It captures impressions such as what an executioner feels and what motivates them in their actions, and how the victims experience certain situations. Garzón emphasized that the video "reflects the active resistance of people who demand justice after so many years."

Los campos del silencio

Who made the dams of the Ebro, Entrepeñas, Barrios de Luna and many others? Who rebuilt towns and cities like Belchite, Brunete, Oviedo, Teruel... among many other populations? Who built from airports such as Sondica or Labacolla to municipal stadiums like those of Valladolid and Palencia, to prisions like Carabanchel or Cordoba? Republicans who were prisoners condemned to work as slaves, whose only "crime" had been to defend the democratically elected legality. This documentary tries to recover the memory of these events focusing on the battalion of Republican prisoners of Fabero del Bierzo. It investigates the mechanisms of social construction of silence, fear and forgetfulness that even today can be felt where the events occurred and where the descendants of many of those prisoners still live.
