SYNOPSIS ENGLISH The extraordinary story of how a film, aiding a new generation of human rights activists, became a granito — a tiny grain of sand — that helped tip the scales of justice.
SINOPSIS ESPAÑOL A veces una película hace historia, no sólo la documenta. Así ocurre con Granito, el asombroso nuevo documental de Pamela Yates. En parte thriller político, en parte memorias, Yates nos transporta atrás en el tiempo a través de un fascinante y evocador relato de un genocidio y vuelve al presente de la mano de unos personajes unidos por el destino y por la búsqueda para llevar a un dictador terrible ante la justicia.
