Most of my life since this documentary came out, I heard nothing but how evil Franco was and how the poor leftist revolutionaries were so heroic. Then I watched the 2 hour Franco documentary and the Spanish Civil War documentary on the Zoomer Historian channel and realised that Spain was going to become a Stalinist prison country in the 1930's and Franco stopped that. Franco was a hard man but he saved Spain and prevented Spain from becoming like North Korea. There is a reason George Orwell wrote 1984 after he fought on the leftist side in the Spanish civil war and saw just how evil the leftists are.
Orwell remained a leftist after the civil war. Franco killed hundreds of thousands of political dissidents, put in jail many more, endorsed fascism and later authoritarianism under an "organic democracy" (which is just an oxymoron in and of itself), and diplomatically isolated spain for nearly 4 decades. Sure the economy got better, but I would say repressing the masses isn't a very good characteristic of a good leader. Also, North Korea? I'm not defending communism by any means, but North Korea is a really weird example to use considering they have essentially no ties to communism anymore.
As a Protestant a Catholic dictator forbidding me to worship according to conscience is no better than a communist dictator forbidding me to worship according to conscience.

@@p0rq there’s one heavily inspired by A Homage To Catalonia named Land and Freedom(1995) made by leftist political filmmaker Ken Loach. Haven’t seen it yet but I’ve heard good things and he did a decent job portraying the early IRA 1920s insurgency in The Wind That Shakes The Barley(2006). He’s biased toward a pro-socialist viewpoint though(if you mind that sort of thing),but I don’t think that it really detaches from the quality of his films.
A constitutional monarchy is the nations best hope for stability and continuity. An institution above party politics who can only advise and warn. In England much of the benefit is the power that Elizabeth ll denies to others. Churchill said getting rid of the Kaiser was a mistake and that's why Japan was allowed to retain the Emperor.
No, a Unitary Catholic Absolute Monarchy is the nation’s best hope for stability and continuity. We need a King who won’t be tied down by constant elections in order to do God’s Will.
Here we are, nearly half a century on. Juan Carlos, caught up in economic corruption and showing contempt for the ordinary citizen of Spain in his lavish and indulgent lifestyle, abdicated in 2014, possibly to devote more time to his tax evasion and receipt of bribery activities. I suppose his best moment was in 1981, in failing to lend support to Lieutenant-Colonel Tejero’s attempted coup, in favor of the fledgling democracy.
I’m very glad they moved his rotten corpse from the Valley of the Fallen. Only sad that they couldn’t pull it to pieces and throw it on a garbage heap.

@@darkcat5649 Oh So FDR, George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway and most intellectuals, journalists and artists who supported the Republic were communists. Go back to school. I can tell you haven't even graduated.

Oh my goodness! Communists in jail?!? The horror!

A movie from the civil war wouldn’t be bad. Orwell escaping Barcelona and the communists trying to kill him.

The king has zero power.

@@WalterModel45precisely.
@@jonathanwebster7091 precisely the countri is being destroyed by the left and the King does nothing about it

Love how it’s like ten left wing guys for every one right wing guy.

Juan carlos a traitor to the country.
Destroyed everything franco did well, and himself was full of shir
Viva España !
Volume is not loud enough.
He was my hero.
The audio is terrible:(
it's not 4k HD 1080p brudda, the audio was recorded when Franco was still alive.
Very interesting. Thanks for the upload.
I love Franco
I’m very glad they moved his rotten corpse from the Valley of the Fallen. Only sad that they couldn’t pull it to pieces and throw it on a garbage heap.
And he would have loved you...
to do exactly what he wanted you to do.
Thames tv can you show us some of the advertisement on your TV that period ?
Why?
You've got mail brought me here...
Wish he was speaking Spanish.
Viva Franco!

Spain looked pretty good in 1970.
