CAMPING NO! Un Momento de Gloria. (German edition)

Formentera is caught between a rock and a hard place: the small island lives almost exclusively on tourism and runs the risk of dying for it.
On November 5, 1993 practically the whole island is on strike. Fighting against the massification of Formentera, the protesters face a powerful coalition between dubious politicians and big investors. Outraged, the Formenterans raise the fundamental question: Who has the right to decide over the future of the island?

Director Statement

Formentera is my second home, so the production of "CAMPING NO!" has been a very intimate experience for me. It's the result of more than two years of archival research, interviews and filmmaking. Nevertheless, this documentary would have been impossible without the commitment and full-hearted support of the islanders. Thank you so much!
