At 6.40 mins into the film, you can see footage and learn about the thinking behind it

Comentario por Duncan O'Cruadhlaoich el mayo 15, 2009 a las 4:19pm: yeah, an anarchists story, its part 3 of, i think, 8, click on the youtube, and you can watch it in parts. heres link to first part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6_X5m32jM0

regarding the mix of internationals who came to assist the republic, and or the revolution, many english also came, the most famous of which was George Orwell, who wrote about all the different strands of that strange time, which led to his portrayel of the "civil war in the civil war" in animal farm. His bio of that time is a fine fine read, i have it at home if you want a loan, "homage to catalunya", or you can read both those books online here; http://www.george-orwell.org/Homage_to_Catalonia/index.html

Comentario por Claudia French el mayo 15, 2009 a las 2:39pm: Brilliant Dunc - well done for finding it - it's a gem of a film!
Interesting how many of the narrotors, incluing the woman who made the film, were Scottish - i guess they, and maybe the Welsh & Irish too, have more in common, historically and politically, with the Catalans, than the English!
Do you know which film is depicted? It'd be interesting to watch it.

Also, alguien sabe donde podemos encontrar una manera a añudar subtitlos a estos videos?
