As the new proprietor of a newspaper becomes embroiled in MoM's extortion of his millions, he tries to take the high road, however the powers that be don't share his view. His noncompliance with his blackmailers has fatal results. This is set to a backdrop of Spain in a state of internal revolt, similar to 2011 or 2018, when citizens took to the streets for peaceful marches protesting against anti-austerity measures, politicians and bankers. Excessive force was observed, and the protests escalated and became out of control resulting in the armed forces being called in to quash the violence and arson. One of his newspaper's journalists responds in a TV broadcast: " . . . leaders condone their actions as being for the greater good . . .". One death in this state of chaos to prevent the deaths of many etc. It is with this moral and ethical dilemma we are left to contemplate. What would you have done?
