DESCRIPTION:Port Triumph (Puerto el Triunfo) 2017 (62 min.)\n\nFilmWorks United 
 International Working Class Film & Video Festival\nDirected by Jeffrey 
 Gould\nThis film by Jeffrey Gould, a history professor at the University of 
 Indiana, looks at an important labor struggle of shrimp workers at Port 
 Triumph in El Salvador. El Salvador had a large shrimp industry, which 
 mostly exported to the United States. More than 1,500 shrimp packinghouse 
 workers, who were mostly women, organized and won important gains at Puerto 
 el Triunfo (Port Triumph). As a result of the growing murderous repression, 
 the union collapsed and the industry as well was decimated by the 1990s. 
 The U.S.-supported civil war in El Salvador not only led the death of 
 thousands of workers and their families but also forced many of these 
 workers to escape to the United States This film provides a personal view 
 of why workers from Central America have been forced to immigrate and their 
 struggle for survival.\nSee
