The Diary of Sacco and Vanzetti (2004)

Share

Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrants to America who were executed in 1927 after they were convicted of killing two people during a robbery in South Braintree. Their controversial trial became a political firestorm fueled by anti-immigration and 'Red Scare' hysteria that gripped post-World War I America. In this unique docu-drama, shot on location around Boston where the case took place, Rothauser portrays Vanzetti using the one-time fish peddler's own letters, speeches and documents to revisit one of the nation's most notorious criminal cases.
