Description:
This 1934 newsreel is a landmark in American social documentary, packing eleven minutes with a broad view of global events focused on the labor movement. Expertly assembled, the film shows Mussolini, Hitler, and FDR as they approach war; Nazi soldiers persecuting German Jews; a political strike in Paris; the Scottsboro demonstration in Washington, DC; police violence against striking steelworkers in Pennsylvania; and union members preventing replacement workers from delivering milk during a dairy farmers' strike in Wisconsin. Directed by Leo Hurwitz, the images combine to present a compelling vision of a world he believed urgently required radical change.
