El Perro Negro. Stories from the Spanish Civil War (2004 — Péter Forgács) from Stuart Christie on Vimeo.

Using found home movie footage by talented amateur filmmaker, Joan Salvans, son of a wealthy Catalan industrialist, of Terrassa, Hungarian filmmaker Péter Forgács has produced a fascinating insight into the political and social life of Spain between 1929 and the outbreak of the Spanish Revolution: social unrest, the collapse of the monarchy, the rise of anarchism — and ultimately the military-fascist rebellion and revolution . . . (in English).
