Storm the Skies
This excellent Spanish docu traces the mysterious life of Ramón Mercader, the assassin of Leon Trotsky, and fills in an overlooked page of history. What happened to the generation of Spanish communists exiled by the victory of Franco? They're now senior citizens, just as firm in their political beliefs; some are rather disturbingly loyal to the old Stalinist regime. Cineteca/Facets Video.
