Contents/Summary

Summary
On April 26, 1937 the small Basque town of Guernica was bombed without warning by German aviation. Two thousand people, all civilians, were killed during the horrific event. Like millions all over the world, Pablo Picasso was shocked and he translated his emotion into a magnificent but terrifying picture bearing the name of the martyred city. With the poetry of Paul Eluard and the revsitiaton to a multitude of Picasso's works, namely 'Guernica,' this film engages with the emotional artistic processes and products inspired by the bombing.
