DESCRIPTION:Ludlow and Greek Americans in the Colorado Coal War(71 min.) (2016) 
 (Brazil) \nProducer: Frosso Tsouka, Director: Leonidas Vardaros\n\nThe 
 racist war on immigrants in the US has a long history and this film tells 
 the story of Greek Americans and other immigrants who came to work in the 
 mines of Colorado. This film shows the conditions that these miners and 
 their children worked under and how immigrant workers were terrorized and 
 exploited. \n\n This story is not only about their conditions but also how 
 they fought back despite major obstacles, including organizing themselves 
 to form a union and stand up to the goliath capitalist John D. 
 Rockefeller.\n\n The Colorado Ludlow massacre of 1914, which killed 26 at a 
 workers camp, was a coordinated effort by Rockefeller and the politicians 
 he controlled to use the Colorado National Guard and Colorado Fuel & Iron 
 Company camp guards to murder and destroy their fight for a union. This 
 massacre of mine workers and their families was called by labor historian 
 Howard Zinn “the culminating act of perhaps the most violent struggle 
 between corporate power and laboring men in American history.” It is a 
 hidden part of our history today as workers fight for human and labor 
 rights.\n\n Film maker Frosso Tsouka and San Francisco State professor 
 Zeese Papanikolas will take questions after the film. Professor Papanikolas 
 is author of Buried Unsung: Louis Tikas and the Ludlow Massacre. This book 
 helped encourage filmmakers from the U.S. and Greece to focus on this 
 important American story.\nSee also:
