DESCRIPTION:SANTA CRUZ GUERILLA DRIVE-IN and THE REEL WORK LABOR FILM FESTIVAL 
 PRESENTS:\n\nSACCO AND VANZETTI\n\nFriday May 9th at 8pm\nbeneath the 
 Soquel Ave. bridge (at Riverside Dr.)\n\nSACCO AND VANZETTI (director:  
 Peter Miller, 2006) is an 80-minute-long documentary that tells the story 
 of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrant anarchists 
 who were accused of a murder in 1920, and executed in Boston in 1927 after 
 a notoriously prejudiced trial.  It is the first major documentary film 
 about this landmark story.\n\nThe ordeal of Sacco and Vanzetti came to 
 symbolize the bigotry and intolerance directed at immigrants and dissenters 
 in America, and millions of people in the U.S. and around the world 
 protested on their behalf.  Nearly eighty years later, the story continues 
 to have great resonance, as America once again grapples with issues of 
 civil liberties and the rights of immigrants.\n\nSACCO AND VANZETTI brings 
 to life the personal, political, and legal aspects of this heartbreaking 
 story. The powerful prison writings of Sacco and Vanzetti are read by 
 actors John Turturro and Tony Shalhoub.  A chorus of passionate 
 commentators propels the narrative, including Howard Zinn, Studs Terkel, 
 Arlo Guthrie, and a number of older people with personal connections to the 
 story.  Artwork, music, poetry, and feature film clips about the case are 
 interwoven into the storytelling.\n\nThrough the tragic story of Sacco and 
 Vanzetti, and the inspiring images of those who keep their memories alive, 
 audiences will experience a universal – and very timely – tale of 
 official injustice and human resilience.\n\nBRING lawn chairs, blankets, 
 pillows, friends, drink, & food to share for intermission. Dress warmly.  
 Donations are greatly appreciated and directly support the project. (We are 
 currently paying for new equipment.)\n\nURBAN WASTELAND LOCATION:  beneath 
 the Soquel Avenue bridge, at Riverside Drive (if you bring a car, please 
 park on Riverside Drive and not in the resturant parking lot, 
 thanks).\n\nSANTA CRUZ GUERILLA DRIVE-IN is an outdoor movie theatre under 
 the stars that springs up unexpectedly in the fields, industrial wastelands 
 and occasionally under bridges. Beyond showing great movies and bringing a 
 broad community together, part of our mission is helping reclaim public 
 space and breaking down this urban environment. \n\nDon't miss the 
 subversive shorts shown first!\n\nfor more info about GDI check out our
