DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video 
 Festival\nClaiming Our Voice \n(2013)(20.5 min)(USA) by Jennifer Pritheevea 
  \nThe struggle of immigrant South Asian workers in the US is the focus of 
 the group Andolan. This film tells the stories of these South Asian women 
 who have become domestic workers and their struggle for decent working 
 conditions and labor rights. The Domestic Workers United and the National 
 Domestic Workers Alliance have defended and supported the organization of 
 1.8 million domestic workers. More than 99% of these workers are foreign 
 born, and 93% are women. The video also tells the story through a play 
 called Sukh aur Dukh ki Kahani (Stories of Joy and Sorrow). This theater 
 project puts the workers’ talents and skills to work in expressing their 
 lives and hopes.\n\nSchoolidarity (2014)(90 min)(USA) by Andrew 
 Friend\nThis documentary looks at the attack on teachers in Chicago who are 
 members of the Chicago Teachers Union CTU and links it to Governor Scott 
 Walker’s attack on public workers in Wisconsin.\n The documentary exposes 
 the scapegoating of teachers and the push to privatize education by 
 Obama’s former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, exposes the forces behind 
 privatization and who will benefit from privatization.\n The film also 
 looks at efforts to move toward a general strike in Wisconsin against 
 Walker’s program instead of a strategy of electing Democrats in the 
 legislature.\nSee also:
