Brighton Anti-Fascists Presents: LAND AND FREEDOM
10th of March. 6.30 pm. Tickets £6 (£5 concessions)
BAF are a new local autonomous group formed to oppose fascism in all its forms. We are hosting a screening of Ken Loach's LAND AND FREEDOM and the Duke of York's picture house, Preston Circus , Brighton.
The film tells a story of David a young communist, who travels to Spain to fight fascism in the civil war. But the idealism of David and his comrades are tested to the limits as their friends are killed and the alliance disintegrates.
There will be discussion after the film about how we can oppose the fascism that we see today in the form of the BNP, EDL and other local Brighton groups.

International Brigaders
A very interesting programme on the efforts that the more clued up working class men and women made back then inorder to give their support in the fight against the advances of fascism. It can be heard here (unfortunately you only have two days left to hear this important story from those that lived it) :
