The Spanish Earth (1937)
The documentaries made during the Spanish Civil War were essential to publicize the international dimension of the conflict. The Spanish Earth, filmed from an embedded position in the conflict by Joris Ivens as an initiative of the Communist Party, was finished in a number of versions. In the first of these, shown here, Orson Welles served as narrator of the original text by Ernest Hemingway.
35mm, b/w, 53 min. DIR: Joris Ivens.
