The story of a village that dreamed of a better future, and won. For the last thirty-five years the small Andalusian village of Marinaleda has been the centre of a tireless struggle to createÂ a living utopia. Dan Hancox reveals the fascinating history of aÂ community that seized the land owned by wealthy aristocrats inÂ order to work it themselves.,Since the 1980s, led by the charismaticÂ mayor, Juan Manuel SÃ¡nchez Gordillo, the villagers haveÂ been fighting for a better life. But as the economic crisis startedÂ to bite, how long could the utopia hold on to its dreams?
