[Subtitled Video] A Hole In The Silence

How does one break a silence?


Twenty years ago, almost nobody in Spain used the words
“exhumation”, “disappeared”, “historical memory” to refer to our
own dead people. Twenty years ago, a man decided to change his
life and, by chance, he ran into the place from which all his
silences were born. That man became the first person in our
country who managed to do a public exhumation, with scientific
methods, and who changed the way we talk about our past. You may
have heard his name many times. But this is not the story of the
public man: it’s the story behind him: the story of someone who
managed to dig a hole in the silence.
