GREATER GLASGOW HOPE NOT HATE
INVISIBLE HEROES: AFRICAN AMERCIANS IN THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR
In 1936, some 2,800 young Americans, together with 50,000 volunteers from 54 countries, offered their lives in defence of the Spanish Republic. What is less known is that 85 African Americans joined that heroic struggle, to fight against racism and for the very civil rights denied to them in their own country. This is their story, an untold chapter in the history of both the United States and Spain. Written, produced and directed by Alfonso Domingo and Jodi Torrent. English subtitles. A guest speaker will lead a discussion on the issues raised by the film.
4pm – 8pm at Gorbals Arches
