The Good Fight: The Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War (1984)
The Spanish Civil War - from the viewpoint of the international Leftist volunteers

I saw this video quite a while back, and ended up giving it to an anarchist friend of mine. Horribly one-sided, as so much history on the Spanish Civil War is, but it is a very good source of first hand accounts from actual veterans of the war (albeit all being from one side of it). Shameless Leftist propaganda, and of course the atrocities of the socialists and anarchists are either ignored, denied outright or lied about. But it does give you a sense of the implacable hatreds that made the war so brutal and drag on so long.
If you're interested in the period, it might be worth a look. Just don't expect any objectivity whatsoever.
