Despite being one of Stanley Kubricks greatests films and therefore a cinema masterpiece, A Clockwork Orange was banned by Spains Franco government, a fascist dictatorship that had ruled the country for over 35 years after a cruel civil war. The films visuals clashed head-on with the regimes strict moral codes and censors who wished to clamp down on any subversive ideas entering Spain. Surprisingly, however, the film premiered uncensored at a long-running religious film festival, the Seminci in Valladolid, located in one of Spains most conservative cities. How could something like this even occur? This documentary, in which Malcolm McDowell (main character in A Clockwork Orange) collaborates, aims to take the audience on an adventure that answers that very question, but also poses an even greater one: can a movie change the world?

It broke all the rules, inventing its own grammar and proclaiming its emancipation from cinematic conventions. It turned the Hollywood studio system on its head, creatively sidestepping prevailing constraints and scrounging up alternative financing. Most importantly, Van Peebles splashed Black Power across the big screen in a way people had never seen before, depicting a heroic character who both defies \the man\ and illustrates the oppression of Blacks, from slavery to the Watts riots.
