description: In Hiding is the spellbinding story of a man who spent thirty years holed-up in his own home to escape execution. Manuel Cortes, a socialist and mayor of the village of Mijas in Andalusia, became a marked man once Franco's forces took power. Cortes stayed under cover until amnesty was decreed in 1969. This absorbing narrative, based on numerous in-depth interviews, chronicles an awe-inspiring ordeal and depicts one of Spain's darkest hours in visceral detail.
