The project "Viva Palestina Libre-Subtitles against the Occupation" collaborates by preparing the Spanish subtitles of several of the interviews. These are usually added 2 to 3 days after the original interview is uploaded. Every time the subtitles of an interview are available it is announced on their instagram account (@viva_palestina_libre). On their blog you can find all the subtitled interviews: https://memoriapresente.net/subtitulo...
