Welcome
When Spanish-American filmmaker James Mercé Edwards sets out to discover the “truth” about the Spanish Civil War, a period in his family’s history filled with secrets and hyperbole, he discovers a global movement struggling to come to terms with the same history. Remember Spain is a multimedia chronicle of James’ journey and the people, movements and events that he discovers as he joins a process some call “la recuperacion de la memoria historica” or the recovery of historical memory. Work-in-Progress episodes from Remember Spain will appear as a series of online multimedia presentations. Read more…
