Otoño de 1936. David Carr es un joven comunista de Liverpool que lleva tiempo sin trabajo. Cansado de esperar, decide dejar Inglaterra para unirse a la causa republicana en la guerra civil española. Su destino es el frente de Aragón, donde se incorpora a la Brigada Internacional, un grupo de voluntarios llegados de distintos países. Entre ellos conoce a Blanca, una militante anarquista española con la que comparte la convicción de que hay que defender la libertad. Mientras David se adapta a la disciplina de las trincheras y a un ejército compuesto por hombres de origen muy diverso, las primeras semanas en el frente muestran las discusiones sobre el futuro que quieren construir. Dirige Ken Loach, y Ian Hart interpreta a David.

Trivia about Land and Freedom

Antes de empezar el rodaje, el guion pasó por varios borradores. Preguntado por su número, Ken Loach calculó que serían cientos y explicó que el texto siguió cambiando mientras se filmaba.
El equipo de producción pidió ayuda a John Rocaber, que había luchado con el POUM y había sido arrestado por el ejército de la República.
En el Reino Unido, la película se estrenó en nueve salas y recaudó 56.493 libras en su primer fin de semana. Después llegó a 620.199 libras en total en el país.
El reparto recibió dos semanas de formación en España antes de rodar las secuencias de la película, según información de producción publicada por Friends of the High Peak and Hope.
