DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival\nOne 
 Generation’s Time: The Legacy of Silme Domingo & Gene Viernes (59:44) 
 (2013) by Shannon Gee \nThis is a documentary on the lives and legacy of 
 Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes.  Both men were leaders of ILWU Local 37, 
 and members of the KDP (Union of Democratic Filipinos), an organization, 
 which had chapters in the major cities of the West Coast during the 1970s 
 and 1980s.  KDP had a two-prong program:  In its international work, it 
 focused on exposing and advocating for the overthrow of the brutal Marcos 
 dictatorship in the Philippines while fighting for workers’ rights in 
 this country.  Viernes and Domingo were elected union officers of the 
 International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 37 in Seattle, WA. 
  They were elected on a reform platform pledging to end the corruption that 
 had taken over their union local; the union, which represented the mostly 
 Filipino cannery workers in Alaska.  On June 1, 1981, Viernes and Domingo 
 were gunned down in the union hall.  The local president was convicted, but 
 the trial subsequently proved that the assassinations of both Viernes and 
 Domingo were ordered and paid for by the Marcos regime; a regime propped-up 
 and supported by the U.S. government.\n Introduction and discussion led by 
 members of the Committee for Justice for Domingo & Viernes, including Cindy 
 Domingo (sister of Silme) and Terri Mast (widow of Domingo). Terri is 
 currently ILWU Secretary-Treasurer of the Inlandboatmen’s Union, Local 
 37.\nSee
