València Remembers: A Film Recounts the 1957 Flood

Valencia Remembers: A Film Recounts the 1957 Flood. Valencia, Spain – A new film, "Olvido," is bringing renewed attention to the devastating flood that ravaged Valencia in October 1957. The movie, produced by À Punt Mèdia, uses archival footage to vividly depict the scale of the disaster, which left 81 people dead. The film centers around the experiences of Olvido Granell, a female journalist who defied her editor to report on the human impact of the flood. "It was a time when few women were journalists," says Maria Caballero, the actress portraying Granell. "Olvido's story is a testament to the courage of those who sought to document the truth." The film also includes a moving dedication: "In homage to all the victims of the flood and to the people of Valencia for their dignity, valor, and solidarity during those dark days." "Olvido" is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of tragedy and is available now on the À Punt Mèdia website.
