Films of The 1968-1969 San Francisco State Strike and Panel Discussion

Screening of "On Strike" (26 min.)(1969) shot and edited by Saul Rouda, David Dobkins and others in the Newsreel Collective, and "The Turning Point" (SF State Strike) (58 minutes), about the San Francico State strike of 1968-1969. The San Francisco State student-labor strike, which lasted 6 months, was backed by the San Francisco Labor Council, ILWU and other unions. It was filmed by students at the school. We will screen the films and talk about the work of these film makers.
