JUST VIEWS: THE GOOD FIGHT. June 14 at 7:20 p.m.
Join the DuPage Peace Through Justice Coalition to view and discuss
a relevant video on most "second Fridays." This month’s film, The Good
Fight, tells the story of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, Americans who
volunteered to fight fascism in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). Mixing
historical footage with interviews with veterans, it explores the variety
of reasons Americans identified with the Spanish Republic and shows what
it was like to be a part of a people's army in a war against fascism that
was the dress rehearsal for World War II. Branded "premature antifascists"
when they returned home, many veterans were blacklisted during the McCarthy
era. Narrated by Studs Terkel. "Passionate and engrossing" (Richard Corliss,
*Time Magazine*). "The best advertisement for the spirit of survival" (J.
Hoberman, *The Village Voice*).
Video starts at 7:30. DuPage Unitarian Universalist Church: 4 S 535 Old Naperville Road, Naperville (1 block S of Route 88, several blocks N of Ogden).
