The XII Festival de Cinema Ciutadà Compromés presents the screening of the documentary Aquí donde estoy, directed by Álex Cuéllar and Rafa G. Sánchez. The film reconstructs the memories of Gabriel León, who at 99 years old shares his testimony about the Battle of the Ebro, one of the harshest episodes of the Spanish Civil War. Through his recollections and the letters he wrote to his family, the documentary offers an intimate look at the war and its human consequences.
