Synopsis
Catalunya, July 1936. General Francico Franco’s rising fails. The revolution, the hope of the dispossessed, explodes. The workers, mainly anarcho-syndicalists, take over the running and management of between 70 and 80% of the industries and services in the country. They organize horizontally and create a social welfare system, making possible one of the most radical grass roots socio-economic transformations of the 20th Century. It’s Europe’s last revolution.
