Summary
Set against a backdrop of mounting anticommunism, 'Red Apple' documents the personal, physical, and psychological effects of McCarthyism on six political activists with ties to New York City. By examining real-life experiences at the 'ground level', it illuminates the human consequences of the widespread paranoia that gripped a nation. It explores how these six activists experienced, responded to, and suffered from one of the most savage assaults on civil liberties in American history.
