DESCRIPTION:The 1913 Massacre 65 min. (2012) By Ken Ross & Louis V. Galdieri /Dreamland 
 Pictures\nA film inspired by a song by Woody Guthrie\n In December 24, 1913 
 in Michigan’s upper peninsula town of Calument, striking copper miners 
 and their families were at the Italian Hall to celebrate a Christmas 
 dinner. In the midst of this celebration someone yelled fire and a stampede 
 began that killed seventy-four people, including 59 children. The person 
 who yelled fire was never found.\n This documentary recounts that hidden 
 story and the real history of the strike. This story is now told for the 
 first time on 
 film.\nhttp://1913massacre.com\nhttp://www.woodyguthrie.org/\nhttp://kenross.tv/biography/\n\nThe 
 Tool and Die Strike \n26 min. (1939)\nThis film made by the UAW shows how a 
 successful strike is organized and the strategy and tactics of the UAW at 
 one of the highest points of the union. From flying picket squads to strike 
 kitchens, the union had a highly organized plan for a successful organizing 
 struggle.\n It also included the political demand for a labor party that 
 was raised in the early history of the UAW. This self organization by auto 
 workers and hundreds of thousands of other workers was successful in 
 forcing the employers to accept unionization.\n\nBrothers On The Line  \n80 
 min. (2012) By Sasha Reuther \nThe Reuther brothers Walter, Roy and Victor 
 played an important role in the founding of the United Auto Workers UAW. 
 The basis of this mass organization were sit-downs and factory occupations 
 throughout the mid-west and rank and file worker committees that played a 
 democratic role in challenging the power of the major auto companies. This 
 mass militant mobilization brought millions of workers into unions 
 throughout the United States.\n The film looks at the history of the union 
 and these brothers through the witchhunts and the Vietnam War, and its 
 effect on the UAW.\n Following the film, a panel discussion with Sasha 
 Reuther, the grandson of Victor Reuther, and Detroit workers will take 
 questions and discuss the film.\nhttp://brothersontheline.tumblr.com/\nSee
