Culled from more than 400 interviews with present and former American Communists, SEEING RED paints a warm, human, and funny portrait of 50 years of American Communism -- from its heyday in the 1930's through the bitter and difficult McCarthy era of the 1950's. With refreshing frankness, public figures from folk singer to Pete Seeger to former union organizer Rose Podmaka come right out and discuss the political beliefs they had hidden from suspicious Americans for so many years. The film was nominated for a 1984 Academy Award for Best Documentary. [More]
