The Catalan language, flags and cultural symbols have been banned. Even the city's soccer team, Barça, is forced to change its name. Members of the losing side of the Civil War, the Republicans, are now considered enemies of the state, and face a gauntlet of reprisals under the new regime. Significant events include the execution of Lluís Companys, World War II, a tram boycott in Barcelona, the rise of the Technocrats, and the return to a Spain steeped in Catholicism. Dictadura spans the first 20 years of the Franco regime, a gray period in the city's history, illustrated through myriad interviews with the people who lived through it. Dictadura concludes with the Spanish dictator hugging an American president, confirming fears that Francoism would not be coming to an end anytime soon. See less
