TCM 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

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.
