The story
of Eugene Downing, working class Dublin Gaeilgeor and left
wing radical who joined the International Brigade and fought
against Fascism in the Spanish Civil War. Using extracts from
his memoirs, this documentary recounts the adventures of a
man living through extraordinary times. Was he an unsung hero
or the red flag flying, Irish speaking, villain of the piece?
