14-year-old Èric Bertran e-mailed companies requesting labeling in Catalan language, using the "Phoenix" monicker from the Harry Potter books.
The Spanish
police accused him of organizing an Al Qaeda cell. The authorities took him all
the way to the Spanish High Court.
From August 27 to September 2, we're getting the word out, through blogs, press
releases, and other media. Here's the idea: We want this film about the Èric
Bertran case to be seen as many times as possible from September 3rd to 9th, so
that it ends up ranking in the "most watched" circuit.
Through this coordinated effort, with the help of new communications and
information technologies, we hope to get some international coverage of this
case, and the true deficit of democracy in the Spanish State, as well as the
fact that the Catalan people are now demanding their right to define themselves
as a sovereign nation.
The documentary has been uploaded to YouTube in five parts. Here's the link to
the first part of the video, for the purposes of the mass viewing:

Original: Spanish authorities have prosecuted a child for terrorism! Incredible but true!
