DESCRIPTION:34 Years of Struggle  (61 min.) (2007) - Japan\nBy Zenkin Motoyama Union & 
 Video Press\nJapan’s labor movement has a long tradition of struggle 
 although the corporate media help censor these battles. This film is about 
 the longest strike in the history of Japan at the Motoyama plant in Sendai, 
 Japan. The plant owner, which manufactured valves, fired some of the 
 strongest union members and the workers were locked out for over 12,000 
 days until they finally won their jobs back. This is one of the longest 
 struggles for labor justice in the world and ended with a 
 victory.\nzenkinmotoyoyama@ybb.ne.jp\nhttp://www.geocities.jp/zenkinmotoyama/index.html\n\nThree 
 Years Post Katrina (5 min.) (2008) \nBy Colette Washington & CNA  \nThe 
 video produced three years after Katrina looks at the affect of the 
 hurricane on the healthcare system and the healthcare crisis today. Over 
 65% of the people in New Orleans have no healthcare insurance and the 
 government still refuses to re-open the Charity Hospital which employed 
 5,000 healthcare workers and provided care for those without health 
 insurance in the region. The hospital was built by the WPA and a campaign 
 is still going on to re-open it. http://www.calnurses.org/rnrn/\n\nSee
