The screening will be followed by a conversation between Professor Paul Preston and historian and author Richard Baxell.

David is an unemployed communist that comes to Spain in 1937 during the civil war to enroll the republicans and defend the democracy against the fascists. He makes friends between the soldiers. 

Land and Freedom, though set during the Spanish Civil War, has much to say about Britain in the 1980s and 90s. Ken Loach, a committed socialist director, draws parallels between the triumph of fascism in Spain and the rise of the far right amid the widespread unemployment at the time the film was made. The film won two awards at the Cannes film festival and remains one of his most acclaimed. - BFI iPlayer
