This is the war Orwell fought in, and his Homage To Catalonia is a great read.

Yea this...
To every right winger that use 1984 for stubid anti Left propaganda...
Question...
Orwell fight with communist (not stalinist ofcurse) not with Anarchists (cnt) but he and up regret it.... and in the end saport the Anarchists?? i am correct or not? Probably is more complicated....I have not read the Homage to Catalonia I know only the basics about Orwell...

@@devifoxe Orwell fought with the POUM, who were a communist party made up of Trotskyites, anarchists and anti-Stalinist socialists. I believe after the war he said if he had his time again he would have joined up with one of the anarchist militias instead.

This film was produced by the Republicans. CNT-FAI films put their name at the beginning of a production.
