Release of Cronos film regarding 2017 Catalonia attacks

Overview

The film ‘Cronos’, directed by Fernando González Molina, has been released to reconstruct the August 17, 2017, terrorist attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils. The production depicts the timeline of events, starting with an explosion in Alcanar, Tarragona, which was initially reported as a butane canister accident before being linked to a terrorist cell’s preparation of explosives. It also covers the mass vehicle attack in Las Ramblas.

The film utilizes the perspectives of various figures, including a rapid response chief, a sergeant from Ripoll, and a police press chief, to explore the Mossos d’Esquadra investigation and the activation of the ‘Cronos’ emergency protocol.

Beyond the police operation and political tensions, the film examines the social impact on the town of Ripoll and broader discussions regarding social integration in Catalonia, specifically how individuals who appeared well-integrated into local society could become involved in radicalization.
