Franco's two funerals in the RTVE Lab

The RTVE Innovation Laboratory launches Franco's two funerals, an interactive special where you compare differences and similarities between two key moments in the history of Spain separated by 44 years. From the RTVE archive, the Lab rescues the images and sounds of Franco's burial in the Valley of the Fallen, on November 23, 1975, which the user will be able to consume in parallel with the images of the exhumation to be transferred to a family pantheon this October.

In this interactive project (accessible here) the Lab faces six key moments of the two historical milestones, which allow us to understand the evolution of Spanish society. In each of them, the viewer will be able to change videos to compare how the events occurred more than 44 years ago and now and see how the country and society have evolved.
