Pura V This movie has been forgotten, in many places, but it should be rediscovered and appreciated in the twenty-first century. In the Middle East and in the Americas, and in other places, some of the old wounds have never healed. Spain and France can be included on the list. Resistance to injustice continues, despite aging, despite defeats, and despite leaders who want to "forget that stuff." Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
