SYNOPSIS Archaeologist Laura Muñoz fights against time and oblivion to uncover the hidden truth in the mass graves of the Spanish Civil War. Her hands uncover the stories of women murdered and disappeared for being free, for being brave, and for being women. Her research reveals how the female body has historically been a battlefield and how silence still weighs on this violence in today's wars.
