DESCRIPTION:Labor Fest is all about carrying on the words of the famous song about Joe 
 Hill, "I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me.  What they 
 forget to kill went on to organize."\nLaborFest's Saturday afternoon films 
 (followed by more this same night):\n"The Ballad of Joe Hill"  "This rarely 
 seen Academy Award nominated film is about an ingenious immigrant labor 
 organizer, Joe Hill (1879-1915), who is framed on a murder charge in a 
 highly sensationalized trial with little evidence.  Despite worldwide 
 appeals by the King of Sweden and the President of the USA, Hill is 
 martyred after being shot by a Utah firing squad after one of the most 
 controversial capital punishment trials of the 20th Century. He also was 
 here during the San Francisco 1906 earthquake and wrote about this 
 experience."\n"Land, Rain and Fire": "What began as a teachers’ strike on 
 May 22, 2006 for better wages and more resources for students has erupted 
 into a massive movement for profound social change in the state of Oaxaca, 
 Mexico. This film tells the story of the police attack on the morning of 
 June 14th when more than fifty thousand teachers were camped out with their 
 children. The attack backfired as public anger transformed the strike into 
 an unprecedented democratic insurgency, demanding the resignation of the 
 Governor and the creation of a new constitution."\n
