In 1938, the novelist, intellectual and politician André Malraux directed his only film, ‘Espoir/Sierra de Teruel' , a valuable testimony to the experiences of the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War. Shot in Barcelona and Montserrat, the film was banned during Franco's dictatorship and was not released in Spain until 1978. The film looks at the vicissitudes of a large group of Republican fighters, and their determination to stop the advance of the Fascist troops by blowing up a bridge on the Zaragoza road, near the town of Linás. In close collaboration with local farmers, the squad of soldiers try to keep their spirits up and manage to get through the non-stop bombings and the harsh, continuous attacks of their powerful enemy.

A powerful, first-hand testament to the reality of the military experience told entirely in the words of American veterans who have been to war and are now opposing it. We hear how they came to join the military, about their experiences in training and in war, and what led to the turning point when they decided they could no longer, in good conscience, participate in the war or keep silent. This documentary serves as a counter-recruitment and organizing tool for activists, schools and organizations. It provides a sober view of the occupation in Iraq and an important counterpoint to the “stay-the-course” rhetoric of the Bush administration.
