The Ponzán Network

During the Spanish Civil War and the World war II, 3000 people were able to scape from Nazi’s chase in Spain and France thanks to a complex network which guaranteed their letter of safe-conduct. This network was the Ponzan team, led by Francisco Ponzan who, together with 30 anarcho-syndicalist comrades (mountain guides, forgers and safe house keepers) through a troubled Europe managed to do a thorough humanitarian rescue job both one side and other side of the Spanish border. This documentary gathers testimonies and Paco Ponzan Vidal and his team’s documents, to make known his great deeds. (Seminci - Valladolid International Film Festival)
