Here's a film on the Durruti Column from the always interesting La Bataille Socialiste site. It's in French but if you can't understand French don't worry. The pictures are superb. Thirty mins, so not a 3 minute newsreel.

Radio New Zealand has a shortish piece available online devoted to the 80th anniversary of the Spanish Revolution and Civil War:
"Eighty years ago this month a revolution got underway in Spain that was to see millions of workers take over their workplaces and run them as collectives. Volunteers from around the world flocked to Spain to defend the republican government against the fascist forces of General Franco - including Kiwis. Anarchist historian Barry Pateman, historian and author of Kiwi Companeros: New Zealand and the Spanish Civil War Mark Derby, and Catalan-Kiwi student of politics Daniel Francesc Benson-Guiu join Wallace to discuss the Spanish revolution and its legacy."
