On a fateful November day in 1916, 250 members of the Industrial Workers of the World, known as the Wobblies, aboard the steamship Verona were met at the Everett City Dock by Sheriff Donald McRae and 140 armed deputies. By the time the shooting stopped, four Wobblies were dead and thirty-two wounded (one died that night). On the dock, one deputy lay dead and seventeen wounded, one of whom would die the following day. This event would come to be known as the Everett Massacre.

Using stunning historical footage, expert analysis, and compelling animation, Verona: The Story of the Everett Massacre gets to the meaning behind the bloodshed: the drive to right social wrongs versus the desire for security; the acceptance of duty versus the struggle to survive -- essential issues that continue to shape U.S. culture today.

2016 marks the 100th anniversary of these tragic events.
