    The Call of Africa (Spanish: La llamada de África) is a 1952 Spanish war film directed by César Fernández Ardavín and starring Irma Torres, Ángel Picazo and Gérard Tichy.[1] It is set in 1940 in Spanish Morocco. It was made at a time when Spain's dictator General Franco was trying to forge a closer relationship with the Arab states of the Middle East and the film promotes a concept of the "blood brotherhood" that links the Spanish and Moroccans.[2]

    Synopsis[edit]

    German agents operating out of Vichy-controlled Mauritania attempt to sabotage a strategic Spanish airstrip. The Spanish and their native Moroccan allies are able to thwart this. The film's hero a Spanish colonial army officer, enters into a relationship with a Berber princess.
