El documental rememora los últimos esfuerzos de la República española por no doblegarse ante el rodillo del recién instaurado régimen franquista. Los últimos focos de resistencia al fascismo se vieron obligados a refugiarse en las montañas, organizándose en grupos dependiendo de los sectores geográficos donde se hallaran. La última y más importante agrupación guerrillera, la A.G.L.A. (Agrupación guerrillera de Levante y Aragón) se distinguió por estar en continuo movimiento, tanto de hombres como de operaciones militares. Los sabotajes, golpes económicos, requisas, ajusticiamientos y enfrentamientos contra la Guardia Civil fueron constantes. Por el contrario, el régimen franquista no reparó en medios humanos ni materiales para contrarrestar dichas operaciones, por lo que las bajas, las deserciones y detenciones por parte de los guerrilleros acabaron por hacerse sentir.

Puentes de Salud is a volunteer-run clinic that provides free medical care to undocumented immigrants in south Philadelphia. Here, doctors and nurses work for free to serve people who would otherwise fall through the cracks. Clinica de Migrantes, a potent film by Maxim Pozdorovkin, follows the workers and patients of Puentes through months of routine care and growth. Along the way, the film puts a face to the millions of people who exist on the margins of society: people displaced from their homelands, separated from their families, unfamiliar with the customs, unable to obtain health insurance and terrified to come forward to seek medical help. Along with revealing these patient stories, Clinica is also a look at the heroic doctors and nurses who work pro bono to ensure these people receive care, offering a deeply moving look at the limitless potential of humanity.
