A retrospective look at the anarcho-syndicalist and anarcho-communist experience in Spain from 1930 until the end of the Civil War in 1939.

On January 8th, 1933, a general strike was declared throughout Spain. The strike was quickly quelled, except in Casas Viejas, a small village in Cádiz. During the repression, the security forces of the Second Republic murdered in cold blood twenty-two peasants, including women and children.
