In 1959, Equatorial Guinea’s independence leader Acacio Mañe was arrested and vanished under Spain’s Franco regime. Now, his family is calling for justice and uncovering Spain’s buried colonial crimes on the way. Lost testimonies and hidden archives expose a brutal history of repression and erasure. While Spain clings to idyllic colonial myths, the past tells a different story—one of violence, censorship, and stolen futures. The fight for recognition continues, forcing a nation to confront the truth it has long sought to silence.
