A film of a live theatrical production, with music, about the Reconstruction period in the US, taking place in Baltimore in 1869. The film is historically researched and based on an imagined meeting set up by Frederick Douglass between four of the major leaders during this moment: Susan B Anthony (suffrage and women workers), William Sylvis (Pres of 200,000 member National Labor Union), Isaac Myers (Black union organizer and worker at the same shipyard in Baltimore that Douglass escaped from) and Francis Ellen Watkins Harper (AA writer, public orator). Jay Gould, Robber Baron, lurks in the background. In their own words and in song, the four leaders discuss and argue about the future and the challenges to unity they face as industrialization is exploding–who will benefit from it?
