And why should one have to?

Who Can Kill a Child?

It should be a relaxing vacation on a remote Spanish island, but for a British couple, the vacation becomes a nightmare. There are no adults to be found on site. Instead, children who want to kill them. A merciless struggle for survival and for the decisive question begins: WHO CAN KILL A CHILD?

¿QUIÉN PUEDE MATAR A UN NIÑO? is one of those 70s rarities that were significantly ahead of their time. Even in the opening credits, we are confronted with real film footage of war zones and concentration camps, of injured, starving and suffering children. These innocent, defenseless children who are affected by the machinations of adults. But it is precisely they, the children, who begin to defend themselves in the film, fight back collectively, and reveal the hypocrisy of adults. After all, who could kill a child? — ask the roughly 7 million children who die each year—even though their deaths could demonstrably have been prevented.
