Manuel Huerga (born 20 October 1957) is a Spanish film director and screenwriter. His film Salvador (Puig Antich) was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. [1]
Salvador, meaning "salvation" in Catalan, Spanish, and Portuguese may refer to:
A garrote or garrote vil is a weapon and a method of capital punishment. It consists of a handheld ligature of chain, rope, scarf, wire or fishing line, used to strangle a person.
Salvador Puig Antich was a Spanish militant anarchist from Catalonia. His execution for involvement in a bank robbery and shooting a police officer dead became a cause célèbre in Francoist Spain for Catalan autonomists, pro-independence supporters, and anarchists. After fighting the Spanish state with the militant organization Iberian Liberation Movement in the early 1970s, he was convicted and executed by garrote for the death of a police officer during a shoot-out.
