The Ivens film, titled The Spanish Earth, would be considered one of the last century' cinema classics.

"In 2007, three boxes with over 4,500 negatives -- popularly referred to as "The Mexican suitcase" -- were recovered by Trisha Ziff from a closet in Mexico City in collaboration with the International Center of Photography, New York.

Lots of films were made in Hollywood referring to this event, and the defeat of the Democratic Spain let an "open wound" in the heart of liberal actors, directors and screenwriters. The coherent life of screenwriter Alvah Bessie is our track through this feeling. From his fighting in Spain with the Abraham Lincoln Brigades in 1937 to his return to Spain 30 years later, where he was required to write his only film after being blacklisted as one of the "Hollywood Ten". This is an original approach to one of the most controversial subjects of our times: the relationship between film industry and politics."--Oriol Porta on Internet Movie Database.
