SpainThe article discusses how the Spanish Civil War was covered in American newsreels, using newly discovered footage from the Hearst Corporation archives. These films, shown in U.S. cinemas between 1914 and 1967, include nearly 30,000 meters of previously unseen film documenting the conflict. The footage captures key moments such as the military coup in Pamplona and the closure of the French border during the war.

The material has been digitized and made available online through projects like newsreels.net, offering new insights into global perspectives on the Spanish Civil War.
