Short Films
Your membership and support is enabling Sarah to follow the work of archaeologist Dr Jesùs Francisco Torres Martinez in the Cantabrian Mountains and to make short films about the little known but brutal Cantabrian War. It is a huge story that she hopes to also turn into a 60 minute film.
