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.

The film was nominated for a 1984 Academy Award for Best Documentary. [More]
