The Female Teachers of the Republic

View on the Pragda STREAM site

Winner of a Goya Award for Best Documentary, The Female Teachers of The Republic focuses on the role of women in advancing public education in the spirit of equality and democratic access to schooling during the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1939). This was before the Civil War (1936-1939) and the subsequent dictatorship that halted the pioneering ideas they had been putting into practice. With archival footage, still photographs, and interviews, the film explores the experiences and ideals of those pioneers whose project was so savagely destroyed by the Spanish Civil War.
