What does it
take to bind a community together against violence and oppression?
Despite current applications around the globe, Fuente Ovejuna
provides an answer based on 15th-century events that were
immortalized by one of Spain’s greatest and most influential Golden
Age dramatists, Lope de Vega. When a military commander returns
victorious from battle to a small town, he becomes a menacing
oppressor to the town’s citizens, and especially its women. Pushed
to the breaking point, the people of Fuente Ovejuna rise up in a
show of unity and bravery. Rated PG13.
