Mártires: un Dios prohibido. In Spanish with subtitles available. A movie about a Spanish seminary during the Spanish cινιℓ ωαr, and its members who were ultimately martyred for the Faith.

Background info:
While the violence long preceded the failed coup of July 1936, the immediate aftermath let loose a violent onslaught on everyone that the revolutionaries in the Republican zone identified as enemies; "where the rebellion failed, for several months afterwards, merely to be identified as a priest, a religious, or simply a militant Christian or member of some apostolic or pious organization, was enough for a person to be executed without trial.  The violence consisted of the killing of tens of thousands of people, including 6,832 Catholic priests.

In recent years, the Vatican has beatified hundreds of the victims of the Red Terror (498 in one 2007 ceremony, the largest single number of beatifications in the Catholic Church's history).

"Execution" of the Sacred Heart  by a communist  firing squad is an example of "an assault on the public presence of Catholicism".  The image was originally published in the London Daily Mail with a caption noting the "Spanish Reds' war on religion".

In the US Americans were being fed communist propaganda by war correspondent Ernest Hemingway, and in the UK George Orwell who was also pro communist.

Orwell noted that:
Quote
Quote “It was the first time that I had ever been in a town where the working class was in the saddle. Practically every building of any size had been seized by the workers and was draped with red flags and with the red and black flag of the Anarchists; every wall was scrawled with the hammer and sickle and with the initials of the revolutionary parties; almost every church had been gutted and its images burnt. Churches here and there were being systematically demolished by gangs of workmen. Every shop and cafe had an inscription saying that it had been collectivized; even the bootblacks had been collectivized and their boxes painted red and black. … The revolutionary posters were everywhere, flaming from the walls in clean reds and blues that made the few remaining advertisements look like daubs of mud.”
