Spain, 1936. When the newly proclaimed democracy is threatened by General Franco's army, civil war is a fact. The Western powers turn their backs on the bloodbath, resulting in tens of thousands of young angry idealists from both Europe and the United States heading to Spain to defend democracy. One of them is David Carr, who, on his own account, makes his way all the way from Liverpool to risk his life in the Republican forces. After a quick training, the young men are equipped with antiquated weapons to face the better-equipped fascists, who also have the support of both Hitler and Mussolini. A bloody time follows, but it is also a time of strong camaraderie and a courage that far exceeds that of the enemy.

LAND AND FREEDOM is one of the most acclaimed films by Ken Loach, the British film legend whose 55-year career includes the Palme d'Or winners Freedom and I, Daniel Blake. The film won the Critics' Prize at Cannes and the award for Best European Film of the Year at the European Film Awards.
