Seeing Red: Stories of American Communists

We're presenting a beautiful new 4K restoration of Reichert's Oscar-nominated documentary Seeing Red, an eye-opening film about the members of the American Communist Party. Through insightful interviews, long-time radicals reflect on how and why they joined the Communist Party between the Great Depression and the Cold War, a calamitous era in history, to say the least. And yet, despite the hostility, the doc’s subjects remain committed to their strong belief in social change. A rousing film full of great and colorful characters, including Pete Seeger, who “outs” himself for the first time as a communist, these stories take on a powerful new resonance today. In Person: Director Julia Reichert.
