@hrwfilmfestival @POVdocs @SilenceofOthers @AlmuDocu @hrw @EmmaDaly Our hashtag #EsTiempodeMemoria became a trending topic on Twitter the day of the broadcast, and if you look there are amazing stories… #SilenceOfOthersPBS [2/2]

[Robert Bahar @robertbahar]

@hrwfilmfestival @POVdocs @SilenceofOthers @AlmuDocu @hrw @EmmaDaly The film has had a tremendous impact in Spain, and it has helped bring the stories of victims of Spain’s dictatorship to a whole new generation. More than 25,000 people saw it in theaters, and nearly a million people saw the film on public TV in April. #SilenceOfOthersPBS [1/2]

[Robert Bahar @robertbahar]

@AlmuDocu @EmmaDaly @hrwfilmfestival @POVdocs @SilenceofOthers @hrw That’s what we’ve seen with the film. It has spurred discussion of things that have been silenced, of impunity, or forced forgetting wherever we screen it. #SilenceOfOthersPBS

[Robert Bahar @robertbahar]

@hrwfilmfestival @POVdocs @SilenceofOthers @AlmuDocu @hrw @EmmaDaly @SilenceofOthers interweaves one huge macro-political issue - universal jurisdiction and crimes against humanity- with very human stories. And yet, the more personal the film becomes, the clearer the political and human rights questions in it become. #SilenceOfOthersPBS [2/2]

[Robert Bahar @robertbahar]

@hrwfilmfestival @POVdocs @SilenceofOthers @AlmuDocu @hrw @EmmaDaly @silencofothers fits into a movement of films that address transitional justice in post-conflict societies, so it speaks far beyond Spain. #SilenceOfOthersPBS [1/2]

[Robert Bahar @robertbahar]

@hrwfilmfestival @POVdocs @SilenceofOthers @AlmuDocu @hrw @EmmaDaly Absolutely. The stolen children story started to come out in 2010, the same year our daughter was born. As new parents, we were deeply affected by the crimes that were being described. I remember @almudocu one night saying in tears “this is our next film”. #SilenceOfOthersPBS

[Robert Bahar @robertbahar]

@hrwfilmfestival @SilenceofOthers @AlmuDocu @hrw @EmmaDaly In 2010, the story of Spain’s “stolen children” began to come out. We started to follow that thread, and it led us to explore the marginalization and silencing of victims of many Franco-era crimes, from extrajudicial killings to torture that took place as recently as 1975.

@hrwfilmfestival @SilenceofOthers @AlmuDocu @hrw @EmmaDaly @POVdocs I was drawn to documentary film because it brought together 2 things: my love of film production and my belief that stories of human rights and social struggles need to be told. Documentary film is where those elements can converge. [2/2]
