A moving documentary film by the granddaughter of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg examines how the arrest and execution of her grandparents has affected her extended family relationships. Ivy Meeropol investigates the complex legacy she has inherited - from Ethel's brother, who fabricated his testimony to implicate his sister, to their children (the filmmaker's father), whose parents chose death over betraying their principles, and the insistence that they had not committed the crimes for which they had been condemned.
