Carceller. El hombre que murió dos veces

This documentary unveils the story of Vicente Miguel Carceller, an editor committed to freedom whose weekly ‘La Traca’ connected with the common people and challenged the established power from 1909 to 1939, reaching a circulation of half a million copies every week. A festive hedonist and a born transgressor, his articles and caustic vignettes against the church, the king and the fascist generals like Franco and Queipo de Llano, turned his success into a terrible fate. In 1940, Carceller and Carlos Gómez Carrera (aka Bluff), editor and cartoonist of the weekly, were doubly silenced, first by a firing squad and later by Franco’s censorship.
