Original language: Catalan
It may have slipped under the radar in most parts of the world, but Catalonia is on the brink of separation from Spain to form an independent country. Spain's persistent refusal to allow Catalans to be heard through a referendum has backfired, and as a result, their thirst for independence has only grown. THE FORBIDDEN PEOPLE brings viewers to the frontlines of the struggle, amidst the grassroots activists who, in defiance of Spain's constitutional court, organized the largest demonstrations in the history of Europe. Forced to adopt innovative political tactics in order to realize their democratic will, Catalans are forging a bold new path to nationhood. THE FORBIDDEN PEOPLE is their story.
