Page "POUM" Paragraph 8

British author George Orwell fought alongside members of the Independent Labour Party as part of POUM militias ; he recounted the experience in his book Homage to Catalonia.

Likewise, the film Land and Freedom, directed by Ken Loach, tells of a group of POUM soldiers fighting in the war from the perspective of a British member of the British Communist Party.

In particular, the film deals with his disillusionment with the Soviet Union's policies in the war.
