After the death of 21-year-old Idrissa Diallo in a Barcelona migrant detention center, the Spanish legal system blocked access to his case and failed to inform his family. Buried in an anonymous grave, Idrissa was forgotten—until the filmmakers of Idrissa, Chronicle of an Ordinary Death set out to uncover the truth, find his family, and seek the justice the state denied.
