The Amsterdam Archives (2011)

From Christie Books: "In January 1939, the CNT-FAI special services secured 22 boxes of the CNT’s archives just prior to the occupation of Barcelona by the fascist forces of General Franco, and transferred them across Europe to the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam. This Catalan TV3 documentary (with English subtitles) weaves a thrilling visual tapestry of the CNT’s relations with the international anarchist movements of the day, including the Makhnovists in the Ukraine and the revolutionary movement in Patagonia."

As it says, its a sort of history of anarchism through the transnationalism of the CNT, and manages to act as a sort of anarchism 101 at the same time. Plus it visits some cool archives.

Well worth watching
