Spanish company to produce film on uncovered drug tunnel between Morocco and Ceuta
The Spanish production company Esto También Pasará is preparing to launch a new film project inspired by the secret security operation known as «Operation Hades», recently revealed by the Spanish Civil Guard. This operation uncovered an international drug trafficking network operating through a clandestine tunnel connecting Morocco and Ceuta. The film will be produced by Álvaro Ariza, with a screenplay by Fernando Navarro, known for his work on Verónica and Bajocero. Filming is set to begin next year, as the documentation and research phase is still underway. The movie draws from real events, recently declassified, involving the discovery of a massive tunnel used for years to smuggle large quantities of drugs between Morocco and Ceuta. The operation implicated security personnel, businessmen, parliamentarians, and a sophisticated logistics network that enabled the passage of shipments without detection. Producer Ariza explained that he learned about the operation's details through media reports, coinciding with the release of his previous film, Tierra de nadie. His close connections within the Spanish Civil Guard granted him access to detailed information that formed the foundation for the story. Ariza reflected, «How can a tunnel 50 meters long and 12 meters wide be built without anyone noticing? It's a story that surpasses fiction and deserves to be told on screen».
