This documentary is a very humble documentary, in terms of money and material resources. We know that it has its limitations and could be much better.

In spite of that fact, the national TV in Catalunya wanted to show it and everything was OK for the broadcasting. We thought that should be no problem with the rights of the songs, as we didn't get almost any money for that broadcasting.

The surprise was when the companies that owns the rights of the songs asked me an ashaming quantity of money that it was impossible for us to pay. We explained that we were students, that we didn't had that kind of money. We got no reply. Those are the so called "defenders of the rights of the culture-makers". Pure rasclaat lies!

So, after two years, I've decided leaving apart the top-down strategy to an horizontal one, creating this blog [link], in order to show the entire documentary to everyone.
