1 videodisc (52 min.) : sd., col. with b&w sequences ; 4 3/4 in.

From a poor goatherd in youth to a defeated soldier languishing in prison, the story of poet Miguel Hernández is as romantic as it is tragic. Filmed on location, this program chronicles the life of Hernández, a casualty of the Spanish Civil War whose poetry reflected all the beauty and sorrow of his native country. Manuscripts, photos, and documentary footage complement a thorough survey of his powerful works, including Perito en Lunas, El Rayo Que No Cesa, El Gallo Crisis, and Teatro en la Guerra.
