This year is the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. Many see this as a prelude to the second wold war as it drew in
Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy, Stalin's Russia and volunteers from all over the world who came to fight the fascists and to fight for a better world. As the anarchist Buenaventura Durruti said of the
struggle; "We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to
inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The
bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the
stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing this minute."

This months Indymedia film night brings you 'Land and Freedom', Palme
d'Or winner Ken Loach's multiple award winning account of a British
volunteer who fights in the Spanish Civil war. The film is based loosely on George Orwell's book 'Homage to Catalonia' and tells the story of one
ordinary persons journey from Liverpool to Spain to fight for his
belief. The film uses all of Loach's skill and technique to craft a
film of substance, emotion and beauty that is in stark contrast to much of the vacuous entertainment in the Hollywood mould.
