As the producer, please introduce yourself and let us know why you became a film producer?

I decided to work in the film industry because it is the best way to present important social justice issues to people on a broad

basis better than any other. And to help make people aware that the types of issues we are sharing with them are

real and happening to real people.While this is the first film which I have produced I’ve been in many ways

preparing for this opportunity. My doctoral degree is in Spanish culture and film and I have conducted

over 300 interviews with victims throughout Spain and in the US, UK and Ireland for this film and a soon to be

published book that Greg, Enrique Vila (a lawyer in Spain) and I are writing on the same topic.

What are the films or people that had impacts on you and deeply inspired you to become a producer?

I’ve always enjoyed films, whether they were fiction or non-fiction that I could learn something from watching.

The documentary Night and Fog continues to inspire as well as Spielberg’s Schindler’s List.

Your film "Stolen Babies in Spain" is an award winning documentary film in the "American Golden Picture IFF".


What were some of the challenges you faced in producing this film?

Raising funds and working within a very tight budget was tough but also making difficult decisions on which cities or

villages to film in across Spain. We never wanted to leave anyone behind or exclude any victim but

the sheer volume of cases, over 300,000 in Spain alone and more across the globe, made it impossible to profile everyone.

Having to try and get answers, even just basic facts that should be open to the public, from the Spanish government,

including from prosecutors who supposedly work on behalf of victims was and remains next to impossible.
