ABSTRACT
In recent years, the development of a critical perspective on public relations has highlighted the role of activism as one of the dimensions of public relations analysis. This chapter aims to analyse and interpret a gendered and class-based political view of reality in Spain during a period of transition. Helena Lumbreras engages with the collective: the street, the factory, the class struggle and, within it, the restricted space of the working woman. This type of film-making is cinema against amnesia, according to Cerdán and Díaz López. In the case of Helena Lumbreras, this has been effectively reduced to the traces tracked by these two researchers on the relationships between the political, militant, gendered documentary and the reality of an era. The film-making collective known as Colectivo de Cine de Clase, formed by Helena Lumbreras and Mariano Lisa, was notable for its ideological consistency and its profound reflection on form.
