You'll find through the vast internet lots of documentaries chronicling the events that surrended the 2004 terrorist attacks in Madrid, the infamous 11M.
Forget 'em all. This is the real deal.
11M: El Principio del Fin (five chapters of an still ongoing series) jumps you right into the spanish political climate of 2003/4, with a moderate government (PP) sieged by the left party (PSOE) in the aftermath of Spain involvement in the Iraq invasion of 2003.
And you should never forget that.
The Terra Ignota lads surely never do. Neither that nor any other aspect of the bombings. Such is the high caliber research of the authors.
From the attack itself (was ETA or wasn't) to the last days of the trial, a mesmerizing voice (kudos to him for the amazing job) inserts ourselves in a nearly cinematographic plot of hysterical police negligence (or not), the usual suspects being the real suspects (hope you got that reference), the incredible tale of a van, a car and a garbage bag (this being key to the whole judicial process and verdict) to the subsequent change of government.
Cause, in case you don't know, there were elections in Spain only three days after 11M.
PSOE won in a shocker and, as the authors, openly state, that was the beginning of the end. And it was all that mattered...?
So, after all the doubts and unresolved questions that the official version has silenced for years, open your eyes and ears, and relieve what transpired in those days of march and changed the landscape of an entire country.
