(Giuliano Montaldo, Italy/France 1971, 120 min., English and Italian with subtitles, 35mm)

One of the most shameful chapters in American history is captured here in the dramatic retelling of the true saga of two Italian immigrants and anarchists—Bartolomeo Vanzetti (Gian Maria Volontè) and Nicola Sacco (Riccardo Cucciolla)—who were falsely accused, tried, and executed for murder. Composer Ennio Morricone collaborated here with singer Joan Baez, who wrote the lyrics for two songs she performs on the soundtrack. Co-presented by the Rochester Labor Council.
