Film Lens
The film recounts the events surrounding the March 10, 1972 demonstration in Ferrol, where thousands of workers protested following the negotiation of an agreement in Bazán. During the protest, the Armed Police opened fire, resulting in dozens of injuries and the deaths of two workers, Daniel Niebla and Amador Rey. The film provides a detailed account of the tensions leading up to the demonstration, including the role of worker commissions and the communist party within the shipyard.
Additionally, the documentary covers the aftermath of the events, including the international repercussions and the subsequent 'Process of the 23,' where key labor leaders were tried three years later. This context shows the wider effects of the workers' movement during a time of dictatorship in Spain.
