What can these 20th-century socialists tell us about how socialism works in practice? This film looks at both the victories and the failures of America's socialist experiment. The leaders established the nation's first municipal public housing project, and first workers' compensation law. They chased the KKK out of town, and welcomed African American immigrants. The socialists provided for the whole life of their citizens — adding "recreation" to municipal Parks departments. But the experiment was not without its failures. Some programs were too optimistic; others created unintended consequences. And ultimately both the Democrats and Republicans claim their legacy.
