Between 1968 and 1976, in the Franco regime, a group of priests decided to speak out against the oppression and brutal repression that was suffering Euskal Herria. Through sermons, writings, hunger strikes and lock-outs, they became in the eyes of the people and of the world a symbol of Basque resistance. Thus, the Spanish state, with the approval of the Church, turned them into the target of its repression, until they finally ended up in a prison for priests in Zamora: captives of the State and of the Church.
