PICASSO PRESENTS GERNIKA is a docudrama film that tells the little-known story of the evacuation of children after the bombing of the sacred Basque town Gernika, as well as the journey of Picasso's anti-war masterpiece, Guernica.

On April 26, 1937, Hitler's Condor Legion bombed Gernika, the first civilian target in history to be decimated by aerial bombing. Terrified, a mother sends her children to England but only sees one of them ever again. Picasso paints his anti-war masterpiece Guernica, vowing never to display it in Spain until democracy returns, however, he dies before this happens.

Interweaving fictionalized characters with images, music, videos and historical events from 1937 to 2012, PICASSO PRESENTS GERNIKA considers the connections between war, art, human suffering, and how the past intersects with our present. The film resonates powerfully with current refugee and human rights crises.
