"This film follows Baltasar Garzón, a Spanish judge best known for having Chile's General Pinochet arrested, during his suspension from his job charged with an abuse of power. His trial marks a decisive moment for Garzón's career, for Spain's judicial system, and for the justice for which Garzón has become a standard-bearer."

An interesting article on Sr. Garzón in the New York Times.
No comments. Just sad.
Unbelievable...thanks for posting the above articles. The Guardian also makes this point...
"The fact that Garzón has also been the first person put on trial in association with crimes committed by the Franco regime that allegedly killed some 114,000 Spanish citizens made his downfall even harder for campaigners to accept. That trial ended Thursday on Wednesday after heartwrenching testimony from relatives of Franco's victims, with the supreme court expected to deliver a sentence within weeks."
