The film is an outstanding all-time classic chronicle of men working and fighting for the common good in war-torn Spain during the Spanish Civil War. The spotlight is on the small village of Fuenteduena. Here the townspeople have instituted a strategy for irrigating the dry and hard earth that had just been appropriated from feudal landowners. They hope that their efforts will yield the food that will sustain the defenders of Madrid: the "army of the people" fighting for democracy against the military dictatorship of Francisco Franco. This historically important film is a moving testament to the democratic forces, which hoped to spare their nation from what was to prove to be years of tyranny under Franco. Thereis memorable footage of Fuenteduena and its villagers. Originally the film’s stark and poignant narration was to be spoken by a young actor named Orson Welles. However, it was determined that his voice was not forceful enough. Hemingway himself stepped in to read his own words.
