Amaya is a 1952 Spanish historical drama film directed by Luis Marquina and starring Susana Canales, Julio Peña and José Bódalo.[1] [2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Luis Pérez Espinosa.

An adaptation of Francisco Navarro Villoslada's historical novel Amaya o los vascos en el siglo VIII, Marquina's version features a visceral judeophobia amplified from the original work, which pushes a conspiracy narrative attributing the "711 loss of Spain" to a Jewish plot.[3] The film's antisemitic sentiment is strongly displayed in sequences such as those involving the uprising of the Pamplona's jewry, and the imprisoning of Basque Christians.[4]
