'La memoria escondida' spanish trailer

Antonio Ruiz Fernández, Montserrat González Montenegro, Antonio Sánchez Franco and Rosa Araúzo Quintero are the four protagonists of this documentary that tell in the first person how was his life and experience to be members of the collective LGTBIQ+ during the last years of the Franco regime and the beginning of the transition. These two men and two women tell how they experienced at that time police discrimination, family exclusion, social marginalization and employment and health discrimination, as well as the problems they had with prostitution and AIDS.

Directed by José Luis Pecharromán, filmmaker who debuts outside photography, this project has a great authorial component, trying to focus on the emotional experiences of the protagonists, without adding data or figures, nor with a specific context of Spanish history. The aim is that society can put a face to the people who have lived these stories and so they see and recognize their suffering.
