No-Do is the abbreviation for Noticiarios y Documentales Cinematográficos (News and Documentaries), and the popular name for the state-controlled cinema newsreels produced in Spain during the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco. It was compulsory to show the No-Do newsreels (production of which began in 1943) before the screening of the film, from that year it was not allowed to publish in Spain or in its colonies any documentary film of this kind except the NODO. Although its motto was “ The whole world within all Spaniards reach” the news were focused mainly in domestic issues Inevitably, the No-Do newsreels, were tainted by their indelible association with the dictatorship. |
