This fascinating and thought-provoking documentary from internationally acclaimed filmmaker Julio Medem explores the unique language and long-held traditions of the Basques, and details the region's intricate and painful political reality.
Featuring a mix of archive footage and film extracts as well as a remarkably varied range of participants - from poets and musicians to terrorists and the many people whose life's have been indelibly marked by violence - this remarkable film offers a fascinating insight into a universal subject that we can ill afford to ignore.
Mature, complex, and startling brave, BASQUE BALL was the highest grossing Spanish documentary of all time. Its intelligent juxtapositions help underline the dangers of allowing a situation to reach political deadlock, while its balanced and informed treatment ensure that the film will stand as one of the most absorbing, and most controversial, of all modern documentaries.
