This afternoon, at 8:30 p.m., the Atalaya Club will screen "Cieza, Atochas y Esparto Grass," a collaborative project between local television station Tele Red and the Esparto Grass Museum.
A documentary that is part of the ongoing task of recovering our historical memory, and for which two films were made.Dozens of interviews, rescue of old photographs, and reenactment of long-forgotten esparto grass projects were carried out in order to provide a detailed and moving account of the different processes of transformation of the fiber and its importance in our local economy.
The result is a report of unrepeatable uniqueness, a heartfelt testimony to a difficult and challenging time, remembered and evoked by its protagonists with a mixture of anger and emotion. A vital piece of the history of Cieza and its people.
