Granados y Delgado. Un crimen legal

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.

The voice-over of an anonym Guinean in exile, who inherited a river on his father’s death, remembering, from the distance of exile, episodes of his childhood, popular legends and old African beliefs, introducing us to the troubled past of Equatorial Guinea. This documentary brings out the subject of Spanish colonisation in the African country and the politic, religious and cultural heritage that came to the surface after the independence, starting with the dictatorship of Francisco Macías to the actual regime of Teodoro Obiang Nguema, sustained by the country’s wealth from the oil wells.
