Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsTCM is showing a documentary, "Native Land"
It is a combination of a documentary format and staged reenactments
It depicts the struggle of trade unions against union-busting corporations, their spies and contractors. It is based on the 1938 report of the La Follette Committee's investigation of the repression of labor organizing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Follette_Committee
It is so timely with what is happening today in America, and that goes hand in hand with the Civil Rights movement and the Women's suffrage movement.
