Railcars in the Rain

Overview

On 1 October 2017, during the Catalan independence referendum, Marta Torrecillas was violently dragged from a polling station by police. Her image and voice message went viral within hours, turning her into an international symbol of state violence. Days later, when medical reports contradicted her initial belief that her fingers were broken, she became the target of a brutal media backlash. Harassed, threatened and diagnosed with PTSD, Marta fights to reclaim her name and dignity.
