Montage documentary produced by the Catalan government on the bombing of Catalan towns by Italian and German bombs. The minister Álvarez del Vayo visits Lleida and observes the devastating effects of the bombs on the civilian population and particularly the children. This film, released in Barcelona in August 1938, was designed to raise awareness among the French public about the effects of the policy of non intervention adopted by Western democracies during the Spanish War.
