Portraits of the soul

Winter 2019. Spanish war photographer Gervasio Sánchez, who documented with his camera the long and tragic siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War (1992-95), returns to the city in search of the children he met among the ruins, those who survived to grow up, live and remember.

A documentary exploring the dark side and contradictions of Spain's democratic transition through revisiting the investigations conducted during that period by journalist Xavier Vinader. A leading figure in investigative journalism, Vinader took his professional commitment to the limit, exposing issues that proved deeply inconvenient for both the State and the far right. He became the first journalist to go into exile and also the first of Spain's democratic era to be imprisoned for political reasons.
