During the 1930s, a group of American volunteer soldiers known as the Abraham Lincoln Brigade fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War. Using old footage and interviews with survivors, this film chronicles the soldiers' noble struggle beside the Spanish loyalists, who were ultimately defeated by Francisco Franco's regime. Although the brigade's struggle has been forgotten, for the most part, its opposition to fascism was vindicated, ultimately, by history after World War II.
