SALARIA

Salaria Kea, the sole African American nurse in the Spanish Civil War, exemplified bravery among 3000 US volunteers defending the Spanish Republic. A lifelong fighter against racism and fascism, she's a forgotten American hero. Despite adversity, Salaria cherished her time in Spain. But upon returning to the US, with her Irish husband, racism marred her life. This documentary delves into her complex narrative, revealing the forces behind the near erasure of her story from the history books. Using archival material and dramatic recreations, it resurrects Salaria's untold saga, inviting viewers to discover her remarkable journey.
