Howard Zinn's Emma
"Liberty will not descend to a People... A People must raise themselves to Liberty"
Howard Zinn's Emma Synopsis
Emma dramatizes the life of Emma Goldman, the famed anarchist, feminist, and free-spirited thinker who was exiled from the United States because of her outspoken views, including her opposition to World War I. Filmed live in 2005 at the Byrdcliffe Theatre in Woodstock, New York, with Zinn in attendance, the play draws on Goldman’s influential autobiography, speeches, and political writings to trace her emergence as one of the foremost radical intellectuals and dissident activists in America in the early part of the 20th century. Emma shows us why Emma Goldman was not only a remarkable historical figure but a woman whose fierce wit and political courage continue to resonate today.
Howard Zinn's Emma is a history film directed by Bruce Grund with a runtime of 1h 56m. It stars Naomi Hard, Paco Francesco Serpico, Pablo Vazquez and Patricia Martin.
