Synopsis
Somewhere on the high plains of Spanish La Mancha resides a village that still carries the name of its creator. Its name “Llanos del Caudillo” means “The High Plains of the Caudillo (Führer) Franco”. Llanos del Caudillo was one of over 300 settlement villages that were built during the dictatorship of general Franco between 1939 and 1975. Franco’s Settlers is a review of the legacy and prevalence, apparent or hidden, of Francisco Franco's figure, a glance at the past in order to find the key to the present and to understand a world where the figure of the dictator persists, even nowadays.
