In Catalonia, November 9th is an historic date; the day in 2014 when the autonomous community voted in a self-organised independence referendum. We meet the "9N" activists who fought to vote for a revolution.

"We vote 'yes' to dignity, 'yes' to independence. And we are happy to vote and proud to be a people who want to talk and want to be heard", says a woman taking part in evening demonstration in Catalonia. For many Catalans this was the turning point in their demand for autonomy. An ineffectual and illegal action to the Spanish state who denied an official referendum, 9N became a focused and peaceful call for independence. For historian Lluis Roura Anlinas, Catalonia's democratic requests have been ignored long enough, so that "anger and revenge could explode at any time". But with results of a landslide vote for independence ignored by the government in Madrid, separation remains elusive. "Spain is showing that it is not able to give answers", says Anlinas.
