DESCRIPTION:Red & Black and Mouvement Communiste present a film screening, to be 
 followed by discussion, of:\n\nDare to Struggle, Dare to Win\n\nBy 
 Jean-Pierre Thorn, 1968 (96 minutes; English subtitles)\n\nThorn was a 
 French film student who took his camera into the factory in May and June of 
 1968 to capture this cinéma vérité classic of the worker occupation of 
 the Flins Renault plant and the struggles around it. The strikers had to 
 fight not only the bosses but also against the CGT (France's largest trade 
 union federation closely linked to the PCF) and the French Communist 
 Party(PCF) to maintain it. Also depicted are the film are the heroic 
 attempts of as many as 5,000 students and workers from other workplaces and 
 other regions to reach the factory in its rural location to support the 
 occupation. The police, also numbering in the thousands, attempted to block 
 them from reaching the factory and the street fighting in the small town of 
 Flins takes on a similar appearance to the battles of the Latin Quarter in 
 Paris, as the local residents support the strikers and their supporters who 
 came to show their solidarity. This is a powerfully moving film; discussion 
 will follow.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/09/19/18539926.php
