The Wobblies screening
2015-Sep-25 @ 20:00 - 21:29
The Dryden will screen The Wobblies (Deborah Shaffer and Stewart Bird, U.S. 1979, 89 min., 16mm).
"Wobblies" was the popular name given to trade unionists organized in the Industrial Workers of the World, around the turn of the last century—a union with syndicalist and anarchist sympathies. The U.S. government, Pinkertons, and private business used any means necessary, including murder, to suppress the union. This documentary uses found footage and interviews to tell the compelling history of the Wobblies.
