La segona pàtria

Overview

The victory of the fascist army in the Spanish civil war caused a mass exodus of republicans who had to take refuge wherever they could. Mexico, led by its president, Lázaro Cárdenas, was the only country that openly supported the republican cause and opened its doors to thousands of Catalans who found their second homeland in that land. This documentary aims to be a tribute to all the exiles and the people who welcomed them. ""Mexico, you have opened your doors and your hands to the wanderer, the wounded, the exiled, the hero..."" Pablo Neruda.
