Altsasu(2020)

Altsasu is a Spanish drama series that reconstructs the violent clash of October 15, 2016, when a bar fight in Navarre erupted between local youths and off-duty Civil Guard officers. The incident spiraled into a high-stakes legal battle that gripped the nation. Prosecutors pursued terrorism charges, demanding sentences ranging from 12 to 62 years for eight defendants. The National Court ultimately rejected the terrorism allegations but still convicted the young people, handing down prison terms between 2 and 13 years. The series examines the competing narratives, political tensions, and judicial complexity surrounding a night that divided communities and raised urgent questions about justice, power, and how societies interpret violence.
