Raging from 1936 to 1939, the Spanish Civil War was a bloody conflict that divided families, pitting the conservative Nationalists against the socialist Republicans. Through dramatized eyewitness accounts and historic footage, this documentary explores the turmoil that engulfed Spain. Expert commentary explains the complex military and political maneuverings that helped prime Europe for the coming of World War II.
The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) caused a great impression on the lives of most of the American artists of that era, so many movies were made in Hollywood about it.

The eventful life of screenwriter Alvah Bessie (1904-1985), one of the Hollywood Ten, serves to analyze this sadness, the tragedy of Spain and its consequences.
