Crossing the border

Documentary Crossing the border

Victor Grossman (New York, 1928) and Nicolás Sánchez-Albornoz (Madrid, 1926), two former exiles and political prisoners, narrate their escape and subsequent exile. Although their lives take place in different countries and even continents, the experiences they endure are almost identical:

The uprising of Franco's troops in 1936, the outbreak of World War II, the escape from the Valley of the Fallen, McCarthyism, exile in the German Democratic Republic, and the fall of the Berlin Wall are some of the experiences that will shape their lives.
