Film Night – Land and Freedom
This
week we have a slight change to our usual meeting format. We will be
showing Ken Loach's masterpiece Land and Freedom. At the height of
the Spanish Civil War, a young Englishman volunteers to fight for the
Republic and finds heroism, comradeship and betrayal behind the
lines.
