Spanish Earth - Spanish Earth - DVD

Funded by a community of American literary artists-including Ernest Hemingway, Lillian Hellman, John Dos Passos, and Dorothy Parker-this moving propaganda film from Dutch documentarian Joris Ivens chronicles the struggle between the democratically elected Republicans and the fascist Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s. Hemingway and Dos Passos wrote and narrated the film (although credited to original narrator Orson Welles), with proceeds going to the Republican cause. 54 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
