The Good Fight: The Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War

An American Communist militia fights alongside the Spanish Republicans in the 1936-1939 Civil War.

The documentary tells the story of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, featuring interviews with survivors over 50 years later. It begins by setting the stage with the rise of Fascism, then follows the events in 1936 when Spain's military revolted against its elected government. Despite the U.S. and Europe's decision not to intervene, volunteers managed to sneak into Spain to fight alongside the Republicans. The veterans recount the challenges they faced, including limited training, harsh living conditions, and high casualty rates.
