DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival\n The 
 Ballad of Joe Hill  \n (1971)(115min)(Sweden) by Bo Widerberg 
 (1930-1997)\nThis year is the 100th anniversary of the death of troubadour 
 and union organizer Joe Hill (1879-1915).  His songs still resonate today 
 in the US and around the world. This dramatic film tells his story as an 
 immigrant coming to the United States. This rarely seen Academy Award 
 nominated film is about an ingenious immigrant labor organizer who is 
 framed on a murder charge in a highly sensationalized trial with little 
 evidence.  Despite worldwide appeals by the King of Sweden and the 
 President of the USA, Hill is martyred by a Utah firing squad after one of 
 the most controversial capital punishment trials of the 20th Century. 
 Today, on the hundredth anniversary of his death the state of Utah has 
 reinstituted the firing squad. Despite the bullets that ended his life, his 
 legacy, humor, principles and solidarity with workers of the world live 
 on.\nAwards: Won 1971 Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize\nNominated for Palme 
 D'Or and at BAFTA, the UN Award\nSee
