About Los Muchachos Revolution Circus
In the 1970s, in the midst of Franco's dictatorship, a Spanish circus astonished the world: the Circo de los Muchachos, which was the visible face of Benposta, a children's republic run by Father Silva: the story of the rise and fall of one of the most unique utopias of the 20th century.
