Libertarias give-away

Libertarias give-away

Libertarias, tells a story of a group of women republicans and anarchists during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39. The film explores the experiences of these Milcianas, fighting in the front lines against the Franco fascists, while resisting attempts by Stalinists to disarm them. It is the inspiring story of women who would "prefer to die standing like men than to live on their knees like servants".
