The remarkable anarchist, revolutionary and passionate fighter for women's rights, 'Red Emma' as she was labeled by the tabloids, was a self-educated immigrant who spent three decades battling injustice. Many of her ideas remain as relevant- and disputed- today as hey were in early 20th Century America. Mel Bucklin's incisive and comprehensive documentary goes beyond her politics to get at the passionate, driven human being who influenced and impressed so many.
