In 1976, a Los Angeles carpenter took some time off to make a film: Abe Osheroff, a member of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade during the Spanish Civil War, went back to Spain, the source of his dream, turned nightmare. The result is an extraordinary, intensely subjective political documentary. Amos Vogel has written of it, "Sad wisdom, disarming honesty, a muted yet clear radicalism permeates this disturbing work. (Osheroff) returns to Spain to discover whether his struggle against Franco had indeed been in vain; what he finds out and how...he recounts both the story of that war and America's role and continued involvement creates a unique history lesson for a new generation not yet acquainted with this indispensable lesson in turpitude and betrayal."
