'La Semana' with Pepa Bueno rescues the unreleased images of Madrid's first Pride in 1978 recorded by Zulueta

The program La Semana, presented by Pepa Bueno, has closed its first season with a special broadcast dedicated to LGTBIQA+ memory live from the Cine Doré, where unreleased images of the first Madrid Pride in 1978 recorded by filmmaker Iván Zulueta have been recovered.

The material, never before seen in Spain, shows that historic demonstration in the capital and has been presented as a key testimony to reconstruct the memory of the LGTBIQ+ movement in the country, in a context in which the visibility and rights of the collective continue to be the subject of social debate.

During the program, testimonies from attendees of that march and reflections from experts and activists were shared, who have underlined the importance of preserving these archives as a tool to understand the evolution of rights and repression during the dictatorship and the Transition.

The special also featured the musical performance by J de Los Planetas, who performed several songs live over images by Zulueta, in a staging that combined culture, memory and vindication in the season finale of the videopodcast.

The Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, participated in the program and committed to promoting institutional recognition for people who were persecuted for their sexual orientation or gender identity, highlighting the importance of memory as part of the democratic construction of the country.
