11M
11M is an independent UK production about the Madrid attacks of 2004.
The documentary looks into the build-up to the attacks and the reasons behind them, what happened on the day and the consequences.
It also has a close and intimate look into the experience of the victims and the social division that followed.
The factual narrative is based on the investigation by Fernando Reinares, the official investigation and the judiciary process as well as contributions by experts, academics and journalists.
Five years in the making, we have conducted over 170 interviews with victims –some of which we have followed to their countries of origin–, members of the emergency services, academics, experts and journalists. The narrative has left out any political ideology around the events.
