LA ÚLTIMA LLAMADA

‘La última llamada’ offers a first-person portrait of the human side of power, revealing the ethical and emotional dilemmas, as well as the loneliness, that accompany those who have occupied the most powerful office in the country. Through intimate conversations, personal archives, and exclusive testimonies from family members and close advisors, this original Movistar Plus+ documentary series showcases the most revealing experiences of Felipe González, José María Aznar, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, and Mariano Rajoy —from their arrival at La Moncloa to the most critical moments of their time in office. What does it feel like to receive the call that can change everything? How do you live with the decisions that affect an entire nation?

Someone carefully rolls up a carpet inside a destroyed hotel room. On the wall, a huge hole overlooks a city in ruins. It is Baghdad, in 2003. A few weeks earlier, two thousand journalists had traveled to Iraq to cover the war that had sparked the most widespread social opposition since Vietnam, a war declared illegal by the UN and which had led to massive demonstrations around the world calling for “No to War.” Among those correspondents are reporter Jon Sistiaga and cameraman José Couso. Their friendship becomes their only real refuge from fear, censorship, and bombs. They evade the surveillance of Saddam's regime, dodge threats, and fight to tell the Spanish media the truth about the conflict through reports that break audience records. When the US invasion begins, Jon and José are among the few journalists who do not leave the country and barricade themselves in the Palestine Hotel. From their room, they narrate the fall of Baghdad with a privileged view that also makes them an unexpected target. What seemed like a peaceful invasion due to the lack of Iraqi resistance turns into tragedy when one of the American tanks aims its cannon at the hotel and fires a shell directly at the balcony where José is filming. The impact leaves a huge hole in the wall of the room, in which only a carpet, bought by Jon and José together in a Baghdad market, can be saved.

In their native Basque Country, architect Oihane Ruiz and landscape designer Ane Barrutia explore the wood cycle, from forest to industry. In doing so, they seek answers to the question: what kind of forest will we leave to future generations? Who is defining tomorrow's forests today? ''Behind the Basque Green" offers a collective portrait of the current state of Basque forests, which are characterised by the decline of radiata pine, the spread of eucalyptus and the depletion of the land. In the face of a crisis-stricken model, leading figures in the timber industry reflect on roots, memory and the necessity of imagining alternative ways of inhabiting the landscape. The film is an immersive experience with original music by Maite Ruiz de Erentxun, created from the environment.

QUEEN OF COAL

Carlita became the first woman miner in a town where women were forbidden from entering the main source of the region’s livelihood: the coal mine. A superstition held that women were a threat of collapse, and mining work was reserved for men. Carlita, as a trans woman, managed to enter the mine, breaking the system from within and sparking the flame of a revolution.
