Sacco and Vanzetti brings to Iife the story of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two ltalian immigrant anarchists who were accused of a murder in 1920, and executed in Boston in 1927 after a notoriously prejudiced triaI. The ordeaI of Sacco and Vanzetti came to symbolize the bigotry and intoIerance directed at immigrants and dissenters in America. MiIlions of peopIe around the world protested on their behaIf, and now, 80 years Iater, their story continues to have great resonance, as civil Iiberties and the rights of immigrants are again under attack. PowerfuI prison writings (given voice by John Turturro and Tony ShaIhoub) and passionate interviews with Howard Zinn, Arlo Guthrie and Studs Terkel are interwoven with artwork, music, and film cIips. Through the story of Sacco and Vanzetti, audiences will experience a universaI - and very timely - taIe of officiaI injustice and human resiIience. |
