DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival\n\nThe 
 Teachers’ Protest – 2019 (78 min.) Directed by Jon Seal (UK)\n\n1942. 
 Occupied Norway. Teachers must join the Nazi Teachers’ League and teach 
 Nazi ideas in their classrooms. 8,000 of them write protest letters. They 
 are threatened with salary withdrawal and the sack. Still they refuse. In a 
 desperate attempt to break them, the Nazi government arrests 1000 male 
 teachers and sends them to prison camps, 300 miles above the Arctic Circle. 
 The education system is in chaos and now the battle begins.\n\nThe 
 Teachers’ Protest is an opportunity to learn about one of the most 
 remarkable stories of passive resistance in World War Two – a story 
 unknown outside of Norway. The documentary brings these events to an 
 international audience through the memories of those involved in the 
 protest. The drawings of Herlov Åmland, made in the terrible conditions of 
 the Arctic prison camp, are brought to life through animation and become 
 the dramatic heart. The Teachers’ Protest tells us how ordinary people 
 stood up to horrific oppression in an extra ordinary way. Sadly, it is as 
 relevant today as ever.\n\nThis feature length documentary uses interviews, 
 archive footage, and the fascinating animation of original drawings to tell 
 the teachers’ story to an international audience for the first 
 time.\n\nhttps://laborfest.net/event/the-teachers-protest-2019/\n
