The Revolutionary

Filmmaker Irv Drasnin interviews Sidney Rittenberg, an American citizen who became the only foreign member of China’s Communist Party. During China’s Cultural Revolution, one of the most tragic and least understood political upheavals of the 20th century, Mao Zedong’s call to “make revolution” was answered by tens of millions of Chinese and one American. Curiously, Rittenberg was born into a Jewish family in Charleston, South Carolina, and he lived there until his college studies. He was the son of Muriel Sluth and Sidney Rittenberg, who was president of the Charleston City Council. Another documentary, another coincidence. The synagogue of Satan always seems to be involved in most psychological operations aimed to install and reinstall government.
