Sacco and Vanzetti (2006) 82 min. By Peter Miller
Sacco and Vanzetti brings to life the story of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Vanzetti, two Italian immigrant anarchists who were accused of a murder in 1920,
and executed in Boston in 1927 after a notoriously prejudiced trial. Millions of
people around the world protested on their behalf, and now, 80 years later,
their story continues to have great resonance, as civil liberties and the rights
of immigrants are again under attack.
Powerful prison writings (given voice by John Turturro and Tony Shalhoub)
and passionate interviews with Howard Zinn, Arlo Guthrie and Studs Terkel are
interwoven with artwork, music, and film clips. Through the story of Sacco and
Vanzetti, audiences will experience a universal - and very timely - tale of
official injustice and human resilience. http://www.willowpondfilms.com/sacco_and_vanzetti.html
