SUMMARY:Film: Fascism inc. (83 min.) 2014
DESCRIPTION:Producer: Frosso Tsouka\, Director: Aris Chatzistefanou (Greece)\nDirector Aris Chatzistefanou’s films look at Greece during the time of neo-nazi and fascist movements\, pointing to capitalism’s attempt to profit by attacking the working class and trade unionism from banning strikes to complete deregulation\, allowing the wealthy to acquire land and resources. Chatzistefanou’s film Fascism Inc. explores the role of fascism in Greece during World War II\, and its development in contemporary times. The film also looks at the growth and politics of the Greek neo-fascist group Golden Dawn\, and how their ideology and methods are encouraged by corporate-controlled media\, which blames immigrants for the growing economic crisis.\nThe rise of immigrant bashing which is taking place in the U.S. is\, as the film shows\, directly correlated to the growing economic crisis\, and this well-edited film makes the connection concrete.\nFollowing the film\, producer Frosso Tsouka and San Francisco State professor Zeese Papanikolas will discuss the economic and social developments in Greece and the rise of Golden Dawn and other neo-nazi groups.

SUMMARY:Walk - The Building and Labor Struggles at Fort Point
DESCRIPTION:Walk with Matthew Britten (Fort Point Guide)\nFort Point in San Francisco was built by the US military between 1853 and the 1860’s as a seacoast defense site. At the same time\, construction was taking place of what was to become Fort Alcatraz. While this construction was moving forward\, laborers were under attack. In the midst of civil war in 1863\, a telegram from Washington was read to the laborers cutting their pay. After hearing the telegram\, the workers walked out at Fort Point and Alcatraz. This was one of the only labor actions during the Civil War in California\, and with the shortage of labor construction workers at the time\, laborers were able to make major gains in wages and conditions. The issue of housing and pay led to unrest\, a work stoppage\, and an eventual strike on all defense projects in the Bay.\nParticipants of the walk will learn about the construction of Fort Point and Alcatraz through the eyes of the workers who did the work. \n\nDirection:\nBy car from San Francisco and points south\, take Highway 101 north and exit right at the Golden Gate Bridge toll plaza before getting on bridge. Turn right at end of exit ramp and then left onto Lincoln Boulevard. Take the first left onto Long Avenue and follow onto Marine Drive. Fort Point is located at the end of Marine Drive.\nBy car from the north\, take Highway 101 across the Golden Gate Bridge. Stay in right toll lane and exit immediately past the bridge toll plaza. Turn right at end of exit ramp and loop under toll plaza. At end of road\, turn left onto Lincoln Boulevard. Take the first left onto Long Avenue and follow onto Marine Drive. Fort Point is located at the end of Marine Drive.\nBy public transit\, San Francisco Muni 28 and Presidio buses stop at bridge toll plaza. Follow trail signs northeast of plaza area to Fort Point at base of bluffs.\nhttp://www.presidio.gov/transportation/public-transit
