He's the guy who did Battle of Algiers (1966) and Burn! (1969), this is about ETA'S plot to assassinate the prime minister of Spain during the Franco era.

IDK sounds based - I'm even willing to pay if there's a pay option. All I can find is streams of it in Spanish and I'm too dumb to know an extra language :ooooooooooooooh:

    I was able to torrent it (you can find it on 1337x) and it came with English subs loaded.

      Ty! I've never used 1337x before - I found the file but it seems like every button I select to download it takes me to the same ad site - do I have to have a VPN to use 1337x?

        You'll want to have an adblocker on and a torrent client such as Transmission, QBittorrent, or Deluge installed on your computer, and click the button "Magnet Download". Using a VPN is a good idea as it keeps the ISP off your back, but it should work without one.

        What I do is use a VPN (about $3/month) and use the torrent search function built into Qbittorrent— it queries results from a bunch of torrent sites and makes it so you don't have to look through ad-riddled webpages.

          Thanks yeah I do have uTorrent I just tend to download mostly through Pirate Bay. IDK I really can't find a button that doesn't take me to their shady VPN site. Thank for trying to help though!

    Here ya go. I noticed you were having trouble with pop ups on 1337x. When you arrive on the page of the torrent of interest, click on the "Magnet Link" link to the left of the file information. The first time you click, when you hover above your pointer will be an arrow, and clicking will link out to an ad. The second time you do it, your pointer will be a pointing hand and it should open the link in your default torrent client (utorrent in your case, but I highly recommend qbittorrent if you feel up for trying something different). Best of luck, and enjoy the movie!

        Shit I accidentally deleted. The link in the first comment is to the movie w/ subs on archive . org and there should be no ads. Qbittorrent is better because it's open source, doesn't have embedded ads, and can be set up to search torrents within the app. rutracker.org is a great site for movie torrents, and can be easily navigated with a translator add on in your browser. Setting up an account is easy and can be done with fake info. Hope this helps.

          Oh thank you, yeah haha I did track down that copy but it doesn't actually have English subtitles despite advertising otherwise.

          (I feel like I'm being difficult - I genuinely appreciate you trying to help me watch this flick for free)

            No worries. I work in a Library and I enjoy stuff like this. If you go to the page on archives, on the right side of the page where it shows the files available for download, click the "show all" link. Once you have the list, download the .m4v file (1.6gb) by right clicking the link and selecting the Save As option. Once downloaded, open with VLC player. Once playing, you can right click the video and select the subtitle track, or simply press the "v" key on your keyboard until you have English.

            *Edit: You're not being difficult at all. Sounds like you've really tried to get this, and it'd be awesome if you get to see it. I went ahead and checked and there are two english subs in the .m4v file

              Holy smoke it worked! I decided to watch Battle of Lake Changjin tonight - thank you so much though I'm looking forward to watching this soon.

              Also my dumb rescue dog is barking in her sleep and it's very cute.

    Very easy to find Spanish speakers. You could get one of them to watch it for you and give you the general idea
