Documentary film makers Yale Strom and Elizabeth Schwartz successfully produced "American Socialist: The Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs," and now want to tell his story, and the story of socialism in America, via podcast and a radio play. Working from the source materials that made their documentary so powerful, they are focusing on how, even after being jailed for speaking out against World War I, Debs ran a successful bid for the US Presidency from jail and brought socialism to the US.
