S1.E2 ∙ The Monarchy Under Threat 1970-1989

When 23-year-old Bubba, who comes from a long lineage of military service, is rejected by the Army for his physical and mental health, he seeks camaraderie in the world of war re-enacting.

Thousands of survivors from the Spanish Civil War fled Spain in 1939 when they were defeated by Franco. Many of them found refuge in France and there were provided both psychological and financial support until 2006 through the ???Spanish Refugee Aid???. The SRA was an American association founded in 1953 by Nancy Macdonald, an anarchist intellectual. Alternating between the past and the present, we will relive some of their story, tinted with revolutionary colours and humanitarian values. It is vital for the respect and dignity of humankind that nothing from that period in history be forgotten.
