DESCRIPTION:Dare To Struggle Dare To Win, 1968, France (96 Min.)\nFilmWorks United 
 International Working Class Film & Video Festival\nDirected by Jean-Pierre 
 Thorn (France)\n50th Anniversary of May-June 1968 French General Strike \n 
 In the middle of the May-June French General Strike in 1968 Jean 
 Pierre-Thorn, a film student at University of Paris, takes his camera to 
 the Flins Renault auto plant and ends up in the middle of the workers 
 struggle during these events. This is an intimate and close-up look at the 
 struggle of the French workers during that historic strike and occupation 
 by French workers. We see how the occupation took place from the inside and 
 the role of the students who also were supporting the occupation. The 
 strikers not only had to fight the bosses but also the CGT (France’s 
 largest trade union federation) and the closely linked French Communist 
 Party (PCF), who were both opposed to the general strike. Also depicted in 
 the film are the heroic attempts of as many as 5,000 students and workers 
 from other workplaces and regions to reach the factory in its rural 
 location to support the occupation. The police, also numbering in the 
 thousands, attempted to block them from reaching the factory, so the street 
 fighting in the small town of Flins takes on a similar appearance to the 
 battles of the Latin Quarter in Paris, as local residents support the 
 strikers and their supporters who came to show their solidarity. Following 
 the film there will be a discussion.\nSee
