What happens

Spanish Teen Rally is a 2014 Spanish documentary film directed by Amparo Fortuny. The film delves into the world of a group of teenagers whose protests in defense of Public Education triggered the so-called Valencian Spring. It was the very first experience of protest for many of them and lead to their crash with reality. Not only did these teenagers become the symbol of the student protests throughout Spain; they also became a reflection of the youth's disenchantment facing an uncertain future in a country where the austerity policies are beginning to seriously affect society. The feature documentary Spanish Teen Rally (Estudiar en primavera) premiered at Cineteca Matadero Madrid. Centre for Contemporary Creation. It was well received by the media and has been screened internationally at various film festivals. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
