MovieDocumentary
On 1 October 2017, during the Catalan independence referendum, Marta Torrecillas was violently dragged from a polling station by police. Her image and voice message went viral within hours, turning her into an international symbol of state violence. Days later, when medical reports contradicted her initial belief that her fingers were broken, she became the target of a brutal media backlash. Harassed, threatened and diagnosed with PTSD, Marta fights to reclaim her name and dignity. An intimate reflection on sisterhood, care and healing in the aftermath of public violence. Refusing to let a viral image define her, Marta’s story becomes a moving exploration of resilience, solidarity and the urgent need for truth and accountability in the digital age.
