Miguel Chaves was a humble boy from a village in Seville who was called up and assigned to the Alcántara Cavalry Regiment. He joined in May 1921 and experienced first-hand the events of the Fall of the General Command of Melilla. He and his companions took part in the famous charges in the dry bed of the Igán River and managed to survive that feat. His story, from then on, is an adventure that far surpasses any story brought to the cinema. A true story of survival that he told to his grandson, Jesús Chaves, and that today brings us to the channel. Another vision of the Annual Disaster.
