El Cordobés negó a su hijo durante medio siglo — y la mujer que lo crió sola jamás habló

For all of Spain, Manuel Benítez "El Cordobés" was the bullfighter who rose from poverty to conquer the world. But there was one woman he excluded from that story. For more than half a century, he denied the son she raised alone, without a surname or support, in a Spain that did not forgive single mothers. And she, the one with the most to tell, never uttered a word to any camera. In this documentary, we tell what really happened, based on public sources, interviews, and verified information.
