An intense story of Ernest Hemingway's return to Spain in 1936, in search of his lover Maria. A militant Basque woman, with child, who departed Paris, to re-join her people in Spain. Hemingway's intense search for one who chose to help oppressed people and lead a faction of the "International Brigade" against the Franco fascists, rather than sit and watch. "Road to Madrid" addresses the basic moral principle of human kindness and compassion for those who proactively resist undemocratic dictators. Indeed, "for whom doth the Bell toll?...It tolls for thee."
