About This Movie

Enarak (2024) is this fascinating glimpse into a slice of Basque culture during a tumultuous time.

The atmosphere is thick with a sense of rebellion, and the juxtaposition of their vibrant sound against the oppressive backdrop is striking. It’s not just a documentary; it's a sonic journey that immerses you in the era.
