Description: Produced by Joris Ivens. Narrative written and spoken by Ernest Hemingway. One of the first and most powerful documentary films ever screened. A motion picture of compelling artistry. "The Spanish Earth, in which Hemingway, Joris Ivens and Van Dongen take a hand shows intelligent realisation of the power of documentary. The theme is a worthy one, and the execution falls to convince in spite of its transparent reality because the subject was bafflingly difficult." NYU $12
