"Land and Freedom"
1996
Directed by Ken Loach

Ken Loach's moving love story set against the complex political background of the early days of the Spanish Civil War is brilliant, engaged cinema. A young lad from Liverpool, smitten by the idealism of the Republican cause, fights for land and freedom along with his multi-national comrades and a beautiful, fiery woman (Rosana Pastor) with whom he eventually falls in love. An epic film of war, hope and dissillusionment--uncompromising and powerful.
109 minutes.
