Closure

As Gibraltar enters a new era with the removal of frontier controls, GBC revisits Closure, its 2019 documentary exploring the 1969 closure of the Gibraltar-Spain border by General Franco's regime.

Produced by Kevin Ruiz, Closure features rare digitised footage from the GBC Archive alongside personal testimonies from people on both sides of the frontier, examining the lasting impact of the closure on families, communities and Gibraltar's identity.

Originally produced to mark the 50th anniversary of the border closure, this special replay offers a timely reflection on one of the defining chapters in Gibraltar's modern history.
