Josep by Aurel: Trailer
The Le Monde cartoonist Aurel (Aurélien Froment), now directs an animation feature film (script by Jean-Louis Milesi) on the Spanish Civil War and the artists left behind.
February 1939. Spanish republicans are fleeing Franco’s dictatorship to France. The French government built concentration camps, confining the refugees, where they barely have access to hygiene, water and food. In one of these camps, separated by barbed wire, two men will become friends. One is a guard, the other is Josep Bartoli (Barcelona 1910 – NYC 1995), an illustrator who fights against Franco’s regime.
