Manifiesto 46020 (Valencia 2010-2012)
Filmed in Benimaclet — District 14 of Valencia — during the global economic crisis that struck half the world around 2010, Manifiesto 46020 captures the voices of a neighborhood in conversation with itself.
Overview
From a photo studio overlooking the square, 43 residents — the pharmacist, the priest, the fishmonger, the unemployed — answer the same twelve questions about life, politics, and hope.
Without judgment or direction, the camera listens. What emerges is a microcosm of Spain at a time of uncertainty and quiet defiance.
