Description
On the 10th anniversary of the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings, Emile de Antonio teamed up with Dan Talbot to radically re-edit more than 187 hours of television footage into this 97-minute masterpiece—"the first and still most important documentary about the McCarthy era" (NY Times). This 2009 UCLA restoration was completed with original elements from the holdings of the WCFTR and is introduced by Communication Arts Professor & de Antonio scholar Vance Kepley.
