In 1961, the Italian collective Cantacronache secretly crossed Franco’s Spain to record popular songs of resistance. In 2022, Pablo Gil Rituerto retraces this journey, guided by Emilio Jona, the last living witness. Archives, landscapes, and contemporary voices weave a powerful reminder of a struggle still unfinished: singing is a political act, and listening a form of resistance.
