In the 1960s, almost two million Spaniards left Spain in search of work in France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and especially West Germany. Poor, unskilled and largely illiterate, many traveled clandestinely; others left with contracts for work in factories and other industrial establishments. Most thought they’d stay abroad for a matter of months, or possibly a year; many wound up settling in these countries for the rest of their lives. The story of this massive emigration has now finally been told by filmmakers Marta Arribas and Ana Pérez; piecing together extraordinary archival footage along with testimony by the emigrants themselves, The Train of Memory recounts the harsh conditions that forced so many Spaniards to abandon their farms and villages in search of work, as well as the often less than welcoming reception many received upon arriving at their destinations.
Part of the Óperas primera film series presented by the Instituto Cervantes.
