DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival\nOn 
 Vient Pour La Visite (Coming For A Visit)\nBy Lucie Tourette (53 min.) 
 French with English Subtitles\n Sponsored by the Global Studies Program\n 
 In October 2008, an unprecedented strike of 6,000 workers took place in the 
 restaurants, cleaning companies, and construction sights of Paris. This 
 strike was unprecedented as these workers were sans papiers - workers 
 without legal papers. The workers, coming mostly from North Africa, work 
 the most dangerous and difficult jobs under constant threat of deportation. 
 From 2008 to 2010 they came together to fight for legal status under the 
 slogan “we live here, we work here, we’re staying here!”. \nThe 
 documentary film, by Lucie Tourette, follows the story of these workers 
 who, with the help of activists from the CGT trade union, organize to 
 collectively confront their bosses. Their goal? To force the bosses to sign 
 one-year contracts which allow them to obtain legal status. Through the 
 strike, they learn that the key to their struggle is their own confidence 
 and collective power. \nSee
