- 2022

‘Sin libertad’ was a 30-minute medium-length film directed by Iñaki Arteta in 2001 where a series of relatives of Basque victims murdered by ETA or persecuted by the group gave their testimonies. Twenty years later, how have these same people assimilated this period of so many changes, including the cessation of terrorist violence and the incorporation of the ultra-nationalist circles into politics? Five young Journalism students in their twenties are selected to interview several of these witnesses.
