Summary Some 700 Spanish women arrived in Australia in the early 1960s supported by an informal agreement between the Francisco Franco regime (1939-1975) and the Australian government of the time, supported by the Catholic Church. This agreement became known as The Marta Plan. -- The women participating in this Plan arrived in Australia with the idea of working as domestic workers when the true intention of the Marta Plan was to balance the gender difference in the Spanish community. -- The film contains some of the stories of these women as well as documentation and archive material. -- RONIN FILMS
