Franco's Settlers (2013)
Somewhere on the high plains of Spanish La Mancha resides a village that still carries the name of its creator. Its name "Llanos del Caudillo" means "The High Plains of the Caudillo (Fuehrer Franco)". Llanos del Caudillo was one of over 300 settlement villages that were built during the dictatorship of general Franco between 1939 and 1975.

Spanish Translation:
En un lugar de La Mancha existe un pueblo cuyo nombre rinde homenaje a su creador. Llanos del Caudillo es uno de los 300 asentamientos construidos por Franco en los que el nuevo hombre fascista habrá de nacer: "el hombre antiurbano y antiobrero, apegado a la tierra, temeroso de Dios y devoto al régimen, del cual es deudor de todo: casa, tierra y trabajo, bajo el control del partido."

    My opinion
    Great and methodical work of Lucia and Dietmar. As a citizen of Llanos has been a pleasure to follow the work they have done, the treatment given to the information collected and the delicacy with which they have treat us. The result of their work is a great story that is beyond of the town limits and makes us reflect on the Spanish transition to democracy and its unexplained gaps and shortcomings. They are brave to talk about an issue inexplicably still taboo in Spain. This can be seen clearly by observing the different interviews. It would be advisable to discuss the Spanish we could open our recent history, I hope this documentary will help it.
