Heart of Spain & Native Land & Uppenbar(a)t

Heart of Spain' is a documentary from the Civil War in Spain in 1936, made by Herbert Kline and Charles Korvin.

It's made by directors in an organization of left-wing filmmakers in America.
It is also a film that shows the nazi- and fascist-followers work in Spain during the 1930:s.

This film has later been used as a evidence for the fact that the world - if one doesn't turn a blind eye to obvious proof - knew much more about the atrocities during and before World War II than later have been admitted.

'Native Land' made by Leo Hurwitz and Paul Strand deals with the civil rights movement and it's struggle in the USA.
It also displays the fascist right wing movements and KKK and their 'work'.

Mixing documentary stories with fictional and with the famous singer Paul Robeson ('Old Man River'/The Show Boat) it tries to expose the violations against civil liberties in USA during the 30's and 40's.

The film and many of those who participated where blacklisted during the McCarthy era.

After this the exhibition 'Uppenbar(a)t' ('Revealed') on the Culture House. This is an exhibition with photographs from the late 1900's till recent days trying to - in different ways, angles and from different ideological perspectives - depict one of the most famous people in the world, JESUS.
