DESCRIPTION:This Batille Day, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the many struggles 
 of 1968, including the Tet Offensive in Vietnam against the American 
 imperialist invaders and the French workingclass struggles, with 2 
 outstanding movies:\n\n(1) In The Year Of The Pig  (103 min) 1968 By Emile 
 de Antonio (1919-1989) Nominated for 1970 Academy Award.\nProduced at the 
 height of the American War Against Vietnam by the producer of Point of 
 Order (Army-McCarthy hearings) and Rush to Judgment (CIA's assassination of 
 Pres. Kennedy), this documentary chronicles the war’s historical roots. 
 Nearly 40 years have transpired and yet the US is again involved in another 
 imperial adventure. This historical documentary brings home the question 
 why is the US involved in another war? In 1968, the war was about fighting 
 “communism” and it reverberates in today’s “war against 
 terrorism.”\nSee

 Blow For Blow / Coup Pour Coup   (90 min) 1972 By Marin Karmitz \nMarin 
 Karmitz produced this important work in commemoration and memory of the 
 ‘68 strike movement. It shows the organization of a strike in a French 
 garment factory from the point of view of the actual workers. The workers 
 are also the actors in the film and played a key role in scripting the 
 film.The strike, which was organized and led by women workers also shows 
 their battle for control of the union with mostly male leadership. This 
 film was a result of the massive struggles of May, June ‘68 in France 
 both for power against the bosses and state and for democratic control 
 within the unions.\nSee
