The town of Amposta will host the screening of the documentary La veu de les muntanyes on Friday, February 27th, focusing on the historical memory of the post-war repression.

The event will take place at 7:30 PM at the Casal Municipal. Organized by the Tarambana association with support from the Amposta City Council, the screening aims to shed light on the silent history of rural families persecuted by the dictatorship.
Produced by La Directa and Sistema del Solar, the film investigates the use of the 'ley de fugas' (law of escapes) to justify the execution of farmers in northern Castellón. These individuals were often tortured and killed under the pretext of attempting to flee custody.
Historian Joan B. Beltran Reverter will introduce the film, which also emphasizes the crucial role of women in supporting the anti-Francoist maquis guerrillas, providing a gendered perspective on rural resistance.
