Franco Makes news: Dictator's Cut

For years, Francisco Franco appeared in the chronicles of the NO-DO (documentary news service) catching enormous fish in different rivers with an ability that the reporter often praised. At the time, half the world already suspected it was all a set-up, yet there was no way of knowing for sure, as the “documentary news service” was one of the regime’s best inventions to spread its own propaganda.

This documentary is a tour through the most grotesque images of the NO-DO, along with material never before screened publicly, revealing the subtlety of the regime’s censorship and manipulation. —DocsBarcelona
