McCarthy chronicls the rise and fall of the Wisconsin senator whose zealous anti-Communist crusade would test the limits of American decency and democracy. Written, directed and produced by Sharon Grimberg, the film is based in part on David M. Oshinsky’s book A Conspiracy So Immense: The World of Joe McCarthy.
