Gritos en el Cielo (Cries in the Sky) is an observational documentary that looks at the people’s movement that emerged in Barcelona in May 2011 and defied the passivity of society by occupying the city’s main square. As the movement grew stronger, the government and the media repeatedly tried to discredit it and force it to end violently, but its members - Barcelona citizens - decided to resist peacefully in order to bring about real change. The film includes many dialogues between people, police, ideologies, political and economic forces and the government. The story revolves around Plaça Catalunya, the epicentre of the movement in Barcelona. During the months that the square was occupied, the participants demanded real democracy and the reformulation of the country’s economic and political structures.

Since Kyrgyzstan gained its Independence in 1991, there has been a revival of the ancient practice of Ala-Kachuu, which translates roughly as “grab and run”. More than half Kyrgyz women are married after being kidnapped by the men who become their husbands. Some escaped after violent ordeals, but most are persuaded to stay by tradition and fear of scandal. Although the practice is said to have its root in nomadic customs, the tradition remains at odds with modern Kyrgyzstan. Ala-Kachuu was outlawed during Soviet era and remains illegal under the kyrgyz criminal code, but the law has rarely been enforced to protect women from this violent practice.

Gaza, War in Media presents a series of interviews that challenge the official Spanish media account of Israel's Operation Cast Lead, in which 1,400 Palestinians died and 5,000 people were wounded, most of them civilians. According to this version, Israel was “defending itself” from the launch of Qassam rockets by Hamas, by massive bombardments to destroy the “infrastructure” of this “terrorist” group. In reality, the bombardments and the ground offensive by the Israeli army targetted the civilian population of the Gaza Strip, as shown by the Goldstone report commissioned by the UN Human Rights Council.
