On 2 November, the Provincial of Spain, Antonio España SJ visited the shooting of the film directed by Imanol Uribe about the martyrs of El Salvador. Accompanied by the superior of Pamplona, Carlos Moraza Sj held a meeting with the director and several of the actors of this film which will finally be entitled "La mirada de Lucía" (Lucia's view). During this meeting he gave an interview to the production company in which he declared that "We take Uribe's idea of making this film with great enthusiasm. The important thing about the project is that it invites us to have a memory. Not to fall into oblivion of what happened in 1989 and what has been happening in many places in Latin and Central America, which is the persistent experience of injustice and violence and which the Society of Jesus is still trying to respond to through the institutions it has in those countries". The script has the approval of the Society of Jesus, which has advised the producers in recent months from both Spain and El Salvador.

Filming began in in Ilundain, a small town in Navarra, near Pamplona with all the preventive measures required by the health situation. It is expected to take another 3 weeks in this autonomous region. From there they will go to Colombia where they will record in different locations in Cali and Buga, with the collaboration of the Javeriana University and the YMCA. The South American country will host a large part of the plot, given the difficulty involved in filming this story in Salvador itself.

Antonio España and Carlos Moraza felt very welcome at all times by the entire film team. They had a meeting with the director Imanol Uribe, a former student of the San Francisco Javier School in Tudela, the same school where Ignacio Ellacuría studied. The San Ignacio School in Pamplona has lent several articles for the filming, which will decorate the office of the Jesuit Nacho Martín-Baró, who was murdered on 16th November 1989, together with 5 Jesuit colleagues and two collaborators.

Daniel Cebrián's script is based on the true story of the only witness to the massacre. Narrated in the style of a thriller, the film, which captures the events that overwhelmed an entire generation, is, beyond its political and social background, a story of characters, of their struggle for truth and justice in a country at war and of their desire to overcome that moment of horror.

"My birth in El Salvador, my upbringing with the Jesuits and the admiration I felt for Ellacuría and his group, are at the origin of this film" - says the director. "I have been preparing this project for several years now, but it had to be suspended last spring when we were about to start shooting in Colombia. Now, despite being immersed in this second wave, we have started even more enthusiastically and the work is flowing smoothly. We are privileged" - says Imanol Uribe, consulted about the peculiarities of filming conditioned by the COVID protocols.

Produced by Bowfinger International Pictures, Maria Luisa Gutiérrez, Tornasol Media, by the renowned producer Gerardo Herrero and Nunca digas nunca AIE and co-produced by the Colombian company 64A Films. Also, the film has the participation of RTVE and Movistar+ and the support of ICAA and IBERMEDIA.
