SACCO & VANZETTI

I just viewed this documentary two times and have benefited immensely from it. There are lots of photographs, film footage, art, and talking head interviews from people in the know. This is a familiar story to most, but you might benefit from reviewing here. Lincoln Robbins knows the story best, and he fills in much of the details. The music of Woody Guthrie is included, and this is making me want to get a CD of his. These Italians were not treated too good in 1920. They had two things going against them: they were anarchists, and they were Italian immigrants. The story of their arrest and trials were in the headlines constantly in the 1920s. You can really get a good sense of the importance of this case by watching this documentary.
