DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video 
 Festival\nPalikari - Louis Tikas and The Ludlow Massacre\n (92 min.)(2014) 
 Greece (in English)\nBy Director Nikos Ventouras and Producer Lamprini 
 Thoma.\n The history of immigrants is a story of struggle, and one of the 
 sharpest in our history took place on April 20, 1914 Ludlow massacre of 
 miners and their families in Colorado.\n Greek Director Nikos Ventouras and 
 Producer Lamprini Thoma came to the US to do a story on the travels of Jack 
 Kerouac and discovered the hidden story of the Ludlow massacre in Colorado. 
 This includes the story of Greek immigrant Louis Tikas Palikari who they 
 had never heard of.\n They learned that Palikari, an immigrant with 
 military training in the Balkan wars, had become one of the leaders of the 
 miner’s strike, and was assassinated by a lieutenant in the Colorado 
 National Guard for leading this strike.\n The story of Ludlow is part of 
 our history that has been buried to cover the real contours of US working 
 class history. As Mother Jones said at the time, “No one listened, no one 
 cared, then, came Ludlow and the nation heard”.\nPart of their reason for 
 making this film was also the need to fight the growing racism and 
 xenophobia in Greece, which has been a result of the economic crisis. They 
 show that racism and discrimination against immigrants is not limited by 
 borders.\n Joining the screening will be SFSU professor Zeese Papanikolas. 
 His book “Buried Unsung: Louis Tikas and the Ludlow Massacre” was an 
 important link for the filmmakers and all working people about our history. 
 Papanikolas will introduce the film and there will be a discussion 
 following the screening.\nSee also
