DESCRIPTION:Island of Shadows (98 min.) (2016) (S. Korea) Directed by Chong-gun 
 Kim\n“Island of Shadows” shows the history of Korean Hanjin shipyard 
 workers to defend their health and safety building a union. They built one 
 of the most industrialized countries in the world yet now face the 
 destruction of their lives because of company unions and government 
 corruption.\n Conditions are so horrific that it is acceptable that workers 
 are regularly getting killed on the job. Slowly workers began to set up a 
 union to fight for their human and labor rights; we hear from the voice of 
 workers about this experience, their victories and defeats. \n It also 
 shows the despair that led union leaders to commit suicide in protest over 
 their conditions. To understand the horrific conditions and sacrifices that 
 these workers make to change their lives is to understand the power of the 
 working class and how they can succeed despite repression and workplace 
 bullying.\n One of the worker leaders is Jinsook Kim, a welder at the 
 shipyard who challenged the workers to support their rights by occupying 
 the top of a crane for 309 days.\n Her voice for justice and humanity 
 resonates to all working people and human beings.\n Following the film 
 there will be an update on the Korean elections and a discussion about how 
 U.S. workers can support the struggle of Korean workers.\nSee
