Dos crímenes por semana. El caso de EL CASO (2016)

In the late fifties, in Spain, under Franco's pompous dictatorship that exerted a tight grip on press and media, colorful journalist and entrepreneur Eugenio Suárez founded on his living room a popular weekly magazine that had a strong impact on the country. EL CASO, that was his name, was an instant success with its mix of crime stories, sensational news, funny anecdotes. Regarded as a sensationalist publication for the illiterate, it produced some of the best journalism of its time, covering real life in a time when magazines were splattered with official news, forced to print the regime vision by a strong censorship. Proof is it had some well respected readers: Nobel Prize Camilo José Cela, acclaimed writer Robert Graves, filmmaker Luis Buñuel - Suarez built a media empire on its profits and always bragged about never having a politician on its cover. The documentary follows 30 years of Spain's history trough the story of the magazine and its makers.
