在这部沉默正义纪录片片中,阿莫多瓦担任监制之一,艾美奖导演夫妇至西班牙马德里费时7年拍摄,重新省视佛朗哥曾经的历史,将那段「共同遗忘的历史」重新审视。
1975年11月20日,独裁政权的佛朗哥终于逝世,西班牙开始推动君主立宪,并将当时被关押政治犯全部特赦,然而在佛朗哥政权时代的人也同时被特赦,西班牙政党也达成了「遗忘协定(Pack of Forgetting)」,将这段历史选择遗忘。随著导演夫妇的拍摄,从一位80岁老奶奶述说她母亲陈尸公路的经历,到2010年经历过佛朗哥政权的受害者提起跨海诉讼,让这段历史再次浮上檯面,开启其转型正义之路。
The Silence of Others reveals the epic struggle of victims of Spain's 40-year dictatorship under General Franco, who continue to seek justice to this day. Filmed over six years, the film follows the survivors as they organize the groundbreaking 'Argentine Lawsuit' and fight a state-imposed amnesia of crimes against humanity, and explores a country still divided four decades into democracy. Seven years in the making, The Silence of Others is the second documentary feature by Emmy-winning filmmakers Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar (Made in L.A.). It is being Executive Produced by Pedro Almodóvar, Agustín Almodóvar, and Esther García.
