In the first, "Anarchism in America," the filmmakers take a road trip to map anarchism as a distinctly American tradition, interviewing a diverse cast of characters: from "ordinary" truckers and farmers to famous anarchists like Kenneth Rexroth and Ursula LeGuin. The second, "The Free Voice of Labor," traces the history of the Yiddish anarchist newspaper of that name-publishing it's final issue after 87 years-as told by it's now elderly, but decidedly unbowed staff. Steven Fishler and Joel Sucher, since studying with Martin Scorsese in 1969, have been making Emmy- and Guggenheim award-winning nonfiction films that explore American social history. |
