Huelva
With ‘The Heart of the Earth’, director and screenwriter Antonio Cuadri presents the film adaptation of the best-selling novel by writer Juan Cobos Wilkins, a novel that reflects part of the real history of his native Huelva and its inhabitants. A story of action and passion set in the Minas de Riotinto.
With this story Antonio Cuadri dusts off a real, collective and unknown to many history: the first ecological protest unleashed in Riotinto at the end of the 19th century.
“As a child I used to hear a lot of mystery about ‘The year of the shots’. It was something that happened in Riotinto, involving an almost legendary secrecy. With this film I wanted to tell that story by filming in the same natural places that witnessed the events.”
