Genèse:
Résumé: In 1936, as Fascism swept across Europe, Spain, caught up in a Civil War, cried out for help. People travelled from all over the world, joining the International Brigades, risking their lives for the freedom of others. Amongst them was Sammy, a young Jewish boy, who against the wishes of his mother Rebecca, left London’s East End after nobly fighting the fascists in Cable Street in order to fight for the Spanish Republican cause. The story tells of Sammy’s experiences in the battlefield with his comrades-in-arms, George, the likeable cockney boxer, and Jack, the cynical Great War veteran. Sammy meets and falls in love with Pilar, a young girl from Catalonia, whose life was torn apart by the war. Rebecca decides to travel to Spain, and during her search for her son, she unexpectedly falls in love with Errnesto, a wounded anarchist she is nursing back to health. Woven into the story is the character of the legendary Dolores Ibarruri, “La Pasionaria”, whose song “No Pasaran” was the inspiration for the fight against fascism.
