The Diary of Sacco and Vanzetti

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.
