Max Lemcke writes, directs, and produces Billy, based on the police inspector Antonio González Pacheco —known as ‘Billy the Kid’—. This documentary relies on a score of his victims’ testimonies, such as Josefa Rodríguez’s. The Seville Festival, in its new Section Extraordinary Stories, hosts the world premiere of this documentary. Billy gives voice to active politicians, policemen, journalists, and lawyers in order to clarify the character of this famous torturer, deceased on the past May. Max Lemcke explained that the documentary curiously comes from a failed fiction project. I decided that we should go ahead with that idea and reset it, in an almost therapeutic way for the people involved and for this country, Lemcke said. The filmmaker also talked about the care taken in the interviews and about the homage ‘to a generation that fought to bring us this democracy, however incomplete’. For her part, Josefa Rodríguez is the protagonist of one of the most devastating testimonies of that moment in the 60s and 70s in Spain. She affirmed the existence of a ‘historical oblivion’ about some recent events. Josefa said: it is as if we did not exist; we have even come to doubt whether so much suffering we went through had been for something.
