The show will follow the Abraham Lincoln and George Washington battalions, part of the International Brigades, which fought in the conflict. Simon expects the show to be a six-episode mini series and said it will discuss the failure of non-fascist countries to offer support to the Spanish republic. “When the Spanish republic was threatened, capitalism chose tyranny,” he added. The International Brigades included about 2,800 Americans and are still controversial in Spain. The International Brigades were created and managed by Stalin, the most genocidal leader in history.”
