"20-S" Documentary - English Version

Excellent documentary by Mediapro proving beyond doubt that jailed Catalan leaders Jordi Cuixart and Jordi Sanchez were key to ensuring a peaceful demonstration on 20th September in Barcelona, but who, in a gross distortion of justice, have since been detained on charges of 'rebellion'. "20-S" is a detailed reconstruction with the help of eye-witness accounts and people who took part in the events of what happened outside the Catalan Finance Ministry buildings in Barcelona and at the CUP party offices in Barcelona on the 20th September 2017. Using footage from up to 35 different sources, the documentary takes a detailed look into the events which took place on that historic day in Barcelona: the role of Jordi Sànchez and Jordi Cuixart, then presidents of the Catalan National Assembly and Òmnium Cultural, during the spontaneous demonstration that took place outside the Catalan Finance Ministry buildings, the role of the Spanish National Police at the CUP party offices and the attempts to enter the building without a court order and the crowd's successful efforts to prevent it; and the role of the Catalan regional police-force trying to avoid a public order problem in the streets of the city on a day which saw massive demonstrations. "20-S" is, in short, a detailed reconstruction of the day that contradicts the official version of what happened.
