SINOPSIS:
In 2003, the Spanish Government closed Egunkaria, the only newspaper published entirely in Basque. The newspaper was closed, and the members of the management committee, accused of belonging to ETA, were tortured. The trial was held seven years later and the accusations proved to have no basis, all the defendants were acquitted. But this documentary isn’t about that painful injustice; it’s about the exciting creation of the first newspaper in the Basque language.
