While at War (2019)

The film's central thesis explicitly critiques the rise of authoritarian nationalism and fascism during the Spanish Civil War, championing intellectual freedom and moral courage against ideological fanaticism. This clear condemnation of a right-wing authoritarian movement aligns with a distinctly progressive ideology.

This historical drama features traditional casting appropriate for its Spanish Civil War setting, without intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on political and ideological conflicts, offering a critique of authoritarianism rather than explicitly centering on or negatively portraying traditional identities in a DEI framework.
