The Spanish Earth

Produced by the writers' collective Contemporary Historians, edited by Helen van Dongen, and scored by Marc Blitzstein, this documentary blends frontline reportage with persuasion against Franco's forces and their German-Italian backers. Narrated in its U.S. version by Ernest Hemingway after an initial Orson Welles track, it connects the defense of Madrid to the land and survival of a nearby village.
