Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies: "SEEING RED"
FILM: “SEEING RED” (100 minutes, Jim Kline & Julia Reichert, 1984)
An informed look at the individuals who made up the American Communist Party from the 1930s through the '50s. Fighting for the causes of unionization, unemployment and Social Security benefits, and the eight-hour day, they committed themselves to what they believed was the right way for America. Not just a rosy remembrance, Seeing Red looks critically at the party's connection with the Soviet Union and its lack of internal democracy. An invaluable resource for courses in political science, political sociology, and social movements.
(Event is FREE and open to the public!
