SUMMARY:Film : Bisbee ’17 (119 min.)
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Robert Greene (2018) \nThe hidden history of the American working class is exposed in this new film Bisbee ’17 by Robert Green. This film is centered around the attack on immigrant copper miners\, who in July 12\, 1917\, were rounded up and illegally deported out of the town by placing them in cattle cars. The train eventually ended up in New Mexico where the miners were later incarcerated by the US military. The Mexican and European workers had been organized by the IWW in the midst of the 1st world war when the price of copper was skyrocketing. The mine companies also used a group called the ‘loyalty leaguers’ to charge that the miners had actually been infiltrated by the Germans who the US was at war with. The film interviews members of families in the town and even residents whose families later returned to the town. \nToday as immigrant bashing is the new “normal” and the organized terrorism against Mexican workers and their families and children is now government policy\, this film resonates that racism\, ethnic cleansing and immigrant bashing goes back over a hundred years ago.

SUMMARY:Film : UNION TIME: Fighting For Workers Rights\, 2016 (86 min.) U.S.A.
DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival\nDirected by Matthew Barr\nNarrated by Danny Glover\nIn 1993\, a group of employees at the Smithfield Pork Processing Plant in Tar Heel\, North Carolina\, began to work with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union to organize the 5\,000 workers at the plant. In 2008\, after a 16-year-long struggle\, they won the right to form a union. Jobs in meatpacking are among the most dangerous in the country. Once dominated by skilled butchers working in unionized jobs\, the industry gradually moved packing plants to rural areas in right-to-work states. What used to be respected as skilled labor is now broken down into assembly-line tasks\, with workers—many of them African American or immigrant often treated as expendable. Dangerous conditions\, wage theft\, intimidation\, and abuse are rampant. Union Time weaves together labor rights and civil rights to show how unions can be a potent force for economic and social justice. Above all\, it celebrates the courage of meatpacking workers who refused to give up through a 16-year-long struggle.
