Aitor Gabilondo to lead a film on torture
The creator of the Patria series feels the need to complete the story after the series makes me feel indebted. He is participating in the EITB project. A0
Donostiarra producer and screenwriter Aitor Gabilondo ("Patria", "El príncipe", "I adicto"...) will film a film about police torture in the Basque Country in his first film project.
"When I made my homeland, I realized that a sense of debt to the victims of torture and state terrorism had awakened. I saw with indignation that this series had been used to establish a kind of unique and definitive account with which I do not agree. Since then, I have felt the need to complete the story," explains Gabilondo.
The film has the participation of EITB and, after years of research, Gabilondo has had encounters with victims, forensics, lawyers, civil guards, politicians, researchers and witnesses. The film starts from the Basque Institute of Criminology's Research Project on cases of torture in the Basque Country.
Gabilondo will give a voice, the producer explains, to those other marginalized victims who, like everyone else, have the right to truth, justice and reparation, who have seen their stories denied. The detainees told us that they invented torture on the orders of ETA, but it was a lie, Gabilondo said.
