A brutal rape case convulsed Spain. We made a film to let survivors know they are not alone | Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar
The Pamplona ‘wolf pack’ trial exposed the deep roots of sexism – and how all of us must fight it
For three and a half years, we worked in secret. Our families didn’t know what we were doing. Neither did our friends. We were making a film about the case that had triggered Spain’s 2018 #MeToo movement and secrecy was how we could best protect the survivors and participants. We also needed time to slowly and methodically build a documentary powerful enough that it could make something invisible – the universality of sexual violence against women – visible.
The story at the heart of our film began at the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, famous for the “running of the bulls”, where in 2016 a woman was sexually assaulted by five men who called themselves “the wolf pack”.
Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar are Goya, Peabody and three-time Emmy winning film-makers. Prior to You Are Not Alone they made The Silence of Others
