DESCRIPTION:Get On The Bus \n(2012) By Kim Jung-kun, Busan, Korea\nIn a workers’ 
 action that shook the Korean people and is now on film, KCTU trade unionist 
 and Hanjin shipyard worker Kim Jin-suk occupied crane number 85 at the 
 Hanjin Heavy Industry and Construction Youngdo shipyard.  She was 
 protesting the lay off of dozens of workers and the transfer of the work to 
 the Philippines, occupying the crane for 309 days. Her occupation struck a 
 cord as workers and families got on buses throughout the country and joined 
 the movement to defend not only Kim Jin-suk but the many other workers who 
 face temporary part time work. Over 30% of the workers of Korea are now 
 temporary and this has been used as a cudgel by the bosses and corporate 
 robber barons to weaken and destroy union labor.\nThe campaign against 
 precarious work was central in this crane occupation and the support for 
 “A World without Redundancy Dismissals and Precarious Work.” The case, 
 and the solidarity movement it prompted, illuminates issues of precarious, 
 contract and migrant labor in South Korea, the Philippines, Germany the 
 United States and 
 beyond.\nhttp://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_international/535250.html 
 \n\nVerita$, Everybody Loves Harvard \n80 min. (2011) By Shin Eun-Jung\n 
 Director Shin Eun-jung will attend \nHarvard is presented and used as an 
 example throughout the world of what a university should be modeled on. 
 Korean film director Shin Eun-jung for the first time looks at the real 
 history of Harvard from its foundation with slave labor to the exclusion of 
 women and the propagation of racist ideology used by the Nazis.\n She also 
 interviews intellectuals and academics, who have sought to expose this 
 history. Included in the interviews are Noam Chomsky, Richard Levins and 
 George Katsiaficas.\n This powerful new documentary looks as well at how 
 Harvard has played a central role in the control of the US imperial empire 
 in shaping foreign policy for US multi-nationals and helping to train 
 military planners on how to fight their war for the US empire. This also 
 includes the role of Harvard in privatizing the Soviet Union and faculty, 
 including Jeffrey Sacks, in personally and illegally profiting from this 
 privatization despite rules against this.\n It also looks at how Harvard is 
 now leading the way in the outsourcing of workers at the University and 
 pushing privatization on a grand scale. This film will shatter the myth 
 that Harvard is something that should be emulated here in the US and 
 internationally. It took a Korean woman to get to some of the real truths 
 about the most famous university in the world.\nEun Jung Shin is from 
 Gwangju, South Korea, where the 1980 people’s uprising was a key event in 
 the overthrow of decades of US-backed military dictatorships. A student 
 activist, she later worked as a TV writer for nine years.\n
