The English-language prints begin with the following text crawl: "On January 2, 1920, U.S. Attorney General Mitchell A. Palmer, together with an army of government agents and anyone else who wanted to take part in "Palmer's Red Raids," launched simultaneous attacks in thirty-three cities across the country. The targets were radical and anarchist headquarters. Windows were smashed, property wrecked and resisters beaten. On the east coast, the raids were centered mostly in Massachusetts and New York. Thousands of chained aliens were marched through the streets of Boston and New York City on their way to Deer Island and Ellis Island for deportation."
