A conflict like none other, the Spanish Civil War caught the world’s attention and today still carries a powerful emotional charge. It was followed on the ground by correspondents and filmmakers, many from positions among the military forces that would now be called “embedded”. One such observer, a maverick American, set out to rediscover his adopted homeland on a vivid journey through the furnace of this crucial historic struggle. This five part documentary series - using original colour footage and newsreels of the day – covers the remarkable trip through the heart of a strife-torn Spain that Russell Palmer undertook as General Franco was conquering the country.
