James Neugass, son of American brigadista James Neugass

and the singer-songwriter Miguel Dantart with "Songs of war"

In the summer of 2012, Jim Neugass set out on a trip to rediscover a father he hardly knew. Seventy-five years earlier, his father James Neugass arrived in Spain as a medical volunteer with the American Medical Bureau to Aid Spanish Democracy. James traveled everywhere with a black, leather notebook – but died before his memoir of those months in Spain was published, and his original manuscript by him was lost. However, when a copy of the manuscript was discovered in a used bookstore in 2000, his story of him finally found his voice. The documentary “War is Beautiful” explores Jim's journey to rediscover his father and tells a story of the intersection of memory in the Spanish Civil War.
