SUMMARY:The Wobblies
DESCRIPTION:Founded in Chicago in 1905\, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) took to organizing unskilled workers into one big union and changed the course of American history. This compelling documentary of the IWW (or “The Wobblies” as they were known) tells the story of workers in factories\, sawmills\, wheat fields\, forests\, mines and on the docks as they organize and demand better wages\, healthcare\, overtime pay and safer working conditions. In some respects\, men and women\, Black and white\, skilled and unskilled workers joining a union and speaking their minds seems so long ago\, but in other ways\, the film mirrors today’s headlines\, depicting a nation torn by corporate greed. \n\n\n\nFilmmakers Deborah Shaffer and Stewart Bird weave history\, archival film footage\, interviews with former workers (now in their 80s and 90s)\, cartoons\, original art\, and classic Wobbly songs (many written by Joe Hill) to pay tribute to the legacy of these rebels who paved the way and risked their lives for the many of the rights that we still have today. \n\n\n\nRestored by the Museum of Modern Art and recently inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Conveys the conviction and strength of these union pioneers with straightforward grace.” -Michael Blowen\, The Boston Globe\n\n\n\n“Iconic. Innovative. Eerily echoing current times. Replete with gorgeous archival footage\, the film pays tribute to American workers who took the ideals of equality and free speech seriously enough to put their lives on the line for them. A joyous chronicle.”  -New York Women in Film & Television
