Two videos are featured at the San Francisco screening of the second day of San Francisco's 13th annual labor culture festival:
"Against Coercion" and "Korea, Labor and FTA." The first video is described as follows: "Under Tokyo mayor Ishihara, the Tokyo government is now punishing teachers who don¹t stand up during the singing of national anthem "Kimigayo". Since last October 2003, 345 teachers have been punished and this video exposes their struggle against militarization." The Korean video is described as follows: "This segment and music video shows the reason Korean workers are up in arms against the proposed US-Korea Free Trade Agreement. From temporary workers to teachers and public workers, the FTA will drastically affect their labor rights and living conditions."
