Miguel's Battlefield (2012) Online
Miguel's Battlefield traces the life of Miguel Gonzalez-Inestal (1901-1995), and his involvement in the Spanish Civil War, exploring the relationship between past and present. After his release from prison as a young man- a result of anti-government demonstration- he became involved in the anarchist organization CNT (Confederacion Nacional Del Trabajo) as a union leader and military commissary fighting for the Republic. By using archival footage, contemporary imagery, and recreations, traces of his experiences and the personal consequences of his ideology are interpreted through a poetic form functioning within the boundaries of metaphor and meaning, history and memory.
