Plot Synopsis

What’s the role of the press in a country ruled by a dictatorship - and how could everybody pitch in to nurture their independent voices? Financed partly by Pier Paolo Pasolini and produced at a time when Spain was still ruled by the fascist tyrant Francisco Franco, The Fourth Estate offers a sharp critique of a cowed and compromised mainstream media. More than just an analysis of a tragic past, filmmakers Helena Lumbreras and Mariano Lisa encourage viewers to resist by "creating, financing and reading your press" through clandestine publications everybody could craft in their own homes - a move which helped usher in the return of democracy in Spain in 1975.
