Abstract

This article analyses the visual characterization of the victims of ETA in the documentaries Trece entre mil (Thirteen among a thousand) (Arteta,2005) and La pelota vasca (The Basque ball) (Medem, 2003). The First puts emphasis on the pain of the victims and the second underlines the ideological manipulation of their image. This diverse characterization assignsa different moral and political role to the victims during the process of extinction of ETA.
