<p><strong><em>CARRY IT FORWARD</em></strong> stars activist
legend <strong>Angela Davis</strong> as the program's narrator, <strong>Eve
Ensler</strong> (<em>The Vagina Monologues</em> and <em>Emotional
Creature</em>) portraying Ethel Rosenberg, and <strong>Cotter Smith</strong>
as Julius Rosenberg. The production uses dramatic readings, acted
vignettes, poetry, music, and historical photos to dramatize the last
four days of the Rosenbergs’ lives through their prison letters and
Robby and Michael Meeropol’s firsthand accounts.</p>
<p>The film also tells the stories of present-day activist
families the Rosenberg Fund for Children assists (including the family
of Russell Maroon Shoatz), and spotlights current movements for <strong>peace,
environmental justice, immigrants' rights, civil liberties and other
progressive struggles from Idle No More and Stop, Stop and Frisk, to
the fight to free all political prisoners.</strong></p>
