Land and Freedom is a 1995 drama directed by Ken Loach (The Wind That Shakes the Barley). In 1936, the young English Communist Dave Carr decided to fight against Franco's fascists on the side of the Republicans in Spain. But he quickly realizes that there are no heroes in the war and that idealism falls by the wayside. Even some of his comrades prefer internal power struggles rather than fighting for freedom. Dave finds hope in his great love, Militia member Blanka.
The following weapons were used in the film Land and Freedom:
Pistols
Astra 400
The Astra 400 is used by officers of the Republicans including Juan Vidal (Marc Martínez) and the Nationalists.
Rifles
Spanish Mauser 1916
The 1916 Spanish Mauser is the most used rifle by the main characters including David Carr (Ian Hart), Blanca (Rosana Pastor) and Bernard Goujon (Frédéric Pierrot). Franco's Nationalists and Republicans forces like the POUM militia are armed with these rifles as well. Bernard references it as a "Mauser 1896" and it's better to use a big stick instead of these rifles.
Bernard:"Yes! Antiques, German Mauser 1896. Single load."
Juan Vidal examines a Mauser rifle from the weapons delivery.
