Description
Diez mil elefantes is a captivating graphic novel that explores the past colonial era in Spanish Guinea Ecuatorial. By combining their art and journalism, two creators bring to life a real story with imagination and critique.
In 1944, under Franco's regime, a team of photographers and filmmakers traveled to Guinea to document its colonial life. One of these 'image hunters' was Manuel Hernández Sanjuán, who accumulated an extensive archive after two years in the country. The story of his expedition is now told through Ngono Mbá, one of the porters who participated in the unusual journey.
This graphic novel sheds light on a largely forgotten chapter of Spanish history and invites readers to confront their past. With intelligence and beauty, it expands the boundaries of documentary storytelling.
