Pilar Pérez Solano’s 2013 documentary pays homage to unsung heroes—the many women, mainly primary school teachers, who worked to bring about a more just and equitable society in the brief years of the Second Republic of Spain. Representing a new generation of Spanish women, they were educated and trained together with the men to be the teachers needed by a new Spain. Their work was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, and they were ostracized and persecuted by the Franco regime. Presented in partnership with Instituto Cervantes.
