50th anniversary of Franco's death on 20 November 2025, which led to the end of the dictatorial regime in Spain.

 

The Catholic Church compromised with Franco's dictatorship in Spain, where it allowed the imprisonment and torture of its own priests, whose only "crime" was to support the population oppressed by the fascist regime. A group of priests who suffered this imprisonment meet and return to the priest's prison of Zamora to tell us this story. Interviews with key figures and poignant animated images support their stories.

30 Years Anniversary in 2021 of the war in Croatia.

 

25 years after the beginning of the civil war in Ex-Yougoslavia, the Serbian and Croatian communities living in Vukovar, a city in Croatia deeply affected by fighting, still don't reconciliate with each other. Segregation in everyday life is still very much alive: children don't play in the same sand box & go to separate classrooms while men don't drink in the same bar and intra-ethnic love is not tolerated by families. Even though, Croatia belongs to the EU, the country remains a powder keg.
