Overview

This documentary collects, through the testimonies of five survivors, four women and one man, the tragedy experienced in “la Desbandá de Málaga and the subsequent exile to France. At the entrance of Queipo de Llano's troops into the city of Malaga, thousands of people, mostly women and children, fled to Almería along the road. They were bombed by sea, land and air by the German army, Mussolini's army and Franco's troops from the then Moroccan colony. Around five thousand people died on these two hundred kilometers of road. This exodus was known as “La desbandá”.
