Sacco e Vanzetti
It’s been almost 80 years since Nicolà Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston. In 1927, the two Italian immigrants died on the electric chair, after being found guilty of a double murder during a payroll robbery despite a lack of evidence. The legal system of the time sentenced the two men because they were anarchists and Italians and hounded them because they were poor. The two men never gave in, choosing to fight injustice. They refused the roles of expiatory victims suffering in silence. It was only in 1977, 50 years after the facts, that the United States officially cleared the two Italians. Their execution produced an uproar around the world and exceeded the bounds of a simple tragedy, acquiring a universal implications: the story of two young men with all their weaknesses, fears and dreams. The film deals with the Italian immigration in the United States in the early 20th century. But it is also a film about friendship and a tribute to people capable of standing up to an unfair system and fighting for their rights.
