La forja de un rebelde (lit. 'The Forging of a Rebel') is a Spanish-German television series directed by Mario Camus adapting the autobiographical book trilogy The Forging of a Rebel by Arturo Barea. It originally aired on TVE1 in 1990.
The plot is an adaptation of the autobiographical book trilogy The Forging of a Rebel (La forja, La ruta and La llama).[1] Tracking the life of Arturo Barea (a left-wing Republican), it spans from 1907 to the Fall of Madrid to the Francoist forces in April 1939,[2] in the last rales of the Spanish Civil War. It also accounts for the period when the leading character was destined for military conscription in the midst of the Moroccan War.[2]
The story is the account of a man defeated in the Civil War who went on into exile, entailing a homage to the victims of Francoism.[3][4]
