After… Part Two: Tied Up and Tied Up Well (1983) continues the Bartolomés’ exploration of Spain’s post-Franco era, revealing how the lingering structures of power, media control, and social inequality persisted beneath the surface of democracy. Through incisive interviews and confrontational editing, it exposes the tension between revolutionary ideals and institutional compromise. This uncompromising documentary blends political inquiry and cinematic provocation in a searing critique of Spain’s so-called “transition” and the unfinished struggle for true liberation.
