    FREE AWARD-WINNING DVDs in Saturday's AND Sunday's INDEPENDENT

    Award-winning DVD weekend in The Independent
    Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 January

    On Saturday 19 January The Independent is giving away the Argentinean film Familia Rodante and The Independent on Sunday on 20 January is giving away the acclaimed Ken Loach film Land and Freedom.

    (Only with the print edition)

    Familia-Rodante_262681a.jpg [url] http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0359254/[/url]

    A hilarious and charming road movie, Familia Rodante is the latest feature from Pablo Trapero, one of the new generation of directors currently revolutionising Argentinian cinema. The tale begins in Buenos Aries with the 84th birthday celebration of Grandma Emilia, who tells her stunned family that she has been invited to be matron of honour at her niece’s wedding and expects them to accompany her on the thousand kilometre trip. One heavy dose of emotional blackmail later, thirteen members across four generations cram into a ramshackle old camper van and set off on the epic journey across Argentina. As the days pass and the van hobbles towards its destination, emotions within its cramped confines run high and the journey seems set to last a lot longer than any of its occupants had bargained for.

    Land-Freedom_262682a.jpg http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0114671/

    Ken Loach's acclaimed 1936-set film about the Spanish Civil War, Land and Freedom, stars Ian Hart as a disillusioned Liverpudlian who decides to follow his principles and join the fight against fascism in Spain.
    Taking up with a poorly armed Republican alliance, he soon becomes enmeshed in the desperate struggle to protect the country's democratic government from General Franco's advancing armies. David bonds deeply with his comrades, especially the beautiful Blanca (Rosana Pastor), but is dismayed as political infighting threatens to plunge the whole resistance movement into turmoil.
    Epic in scope and brilliantly acted, Land and Freedom is one of the most unique, powerful and moving war films ever made.
