DESCRIPTION:See also:\nWar in Paterson, the Strike that Changed the Labor Movement  (15 
 min.) By Dana Seidel\nOne hundred years ago, a mass labor strike took place 
 at Paterson, New Jersey, led by the IWW. Young Jewish and Italian immigrant 
 women organized to fight for health and safety and human rights, as well as 
 the fight to defend free speech. This struggle, while unsuccessful, showed 
 the tremendous solidarity and power of the working class, and the ability 
 to unite immigrant women workers from Europe. It also showed that the fight 
 for the right to free speech and democratic rights is critical, if workers 
 are able to tell their stories. The Paterson Pageant, which was performed 
 at Madison Square Gardens was a important theatrical production on the 
 class struggle for working people, and while the show lost money, it has 
 left an indelible imprint on American workers history.\n\nA Witness to the 
 Paterson Strike\nInterview with Ralph Golzio (5 min.)\n This short film 
 will be also shown with an interview with Ralph Golzio, whose mother was a 
 silk spinner and member of the IWW. She was one of the many women 
 organizers that fought for a strong democratic union to defend their labor 
 and human rights. After the films, there will be a discussion with labor 
 educator Gifford Hartman, who will give an overview of the strike and its 
 meaning today.\n\nDreamworks China  (56 min.) By Tommaso Facchin & Ivan 
 Fraceschini\nDreamworks China looks at the lives of Apple i-phone workers 
 and their dreams for the future. Foxconn is the largest private employer in 
 China and the militarized conditions at the plants that produce the Apple 
 products have led to dozens of suicides and the destruction of dreams. 
 While Apple has a cache of 80 billion, it refuses to provide decent working 
 conditions for the hundreds of thousands of workers who toil to make their 
 products. What this says about this system is left to the viewer, but it is 
 clear that this contradiction is harmful to the workers and society.\nSee
