"Macarthysmo", "witch hunt" or "blacklists" are some of the terms that have become popular in the world of cinema and culture to symbolize restrictions on freedom of expression. It has its origin in the public performance of US Senator Joseph McCarthy (1908-1957), who between 1950 and 1954, in the midst of the Cold War, investigated the presence of communist agents and Soviet spies in the American Administration. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the disappearance of the Soviet Union have allowed access to the secret archives of the KGB, and forty years later we are now in a position to know whether or not the popular senator for Wisconsin was right.
Fernando Alonso Barahona is a Spanish lawyer, film critic, and writer. He is known for his insightful film critiques and contributions to literary works. He holds Spanish nationality and has a distinguished career in both the legal field and the arts.
