Suite (212)

The Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 inspired artists, writers and filmmakers at home and abroad to make work in support of the struggle against fascism and, in some cases, to fight for the Spanish Republic. This week, Juliet talks to writer/translator Lara Alonso Corona about the various reactions to the war, General Franco's victory and consolidation of fascist power in Spain, from before the conflict began in July 1936 to the present.
