Buñuel Prisoners is a film about Las Hurdes, an area in western Spain where once an extreme poverty reigned. The Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel made a film about it in 1932, Las Hurdes, tierra sin pan (Land Without Bread). The filmmaker portrayed the area as a black hell on earth. A land forsaken by God. In 1999, a curse still rests on the film and the local inhabitants still combat the black legend that circulates about their area. A small film crew returns to Las Hurdes in 1999 with a screen and a copy of Buñuel's film. In the local square, the film is shown and we hear wonderful stories of the villagers and see their occasionally fierce reactions to the film that is over 60 years old. This form the backdrop to a new picture of the local inhabitants.
