{"product_id":"738329258849","title":"The Wobblies (DVD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Solidarity! All for One and One for All!”\n\u003cbr\u003eFounded in Chicago in 1905, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) took to organizing unskilled workers into one big union and changed the course of American\n\u003cbr\u003ehistory. This compelling documentary of the IWW (or “The Wobblies” as they were known) tells the story of workers in factories, sawmills, wheat fields, forests, mines and on the docks as they organize and demand better wages, healthcare, overtime\n\u003cbr\u003epay and safer working conditions. In some respects, men and women, Black and white, skilled and unskilled workers joining a union and speaking their minds\n\u003cbr\u003eseems so long ago, but in other ways, the film mirrors today’s headlines, depicting a nation torn by corporate greed.\n\u003cbr\u003eFilmmakers Deborah Shaffer and Stewart Bird weave history, archival film footage, interviews with former workers (now in their 80s and 90s), cartoons, original art,\n\u003cbr\u003eand classic Wobbly songs (many written by Joe Hill) to pay tribute to the legacy of these rebels who paved the way and risked their lives for the many of the rights that we still have today. This classic documentary was recently inducted into the National\n\u003cbr\u003eFilm Registry of the Library of Congress. The 16mm film restoration was made\n\u003cbr\u003epossible from a grant by the Women’s Film Preservation Fund, and is presented in a restoration by The Museum of Modern Art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema 1 Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895014256719,"sku":"738329258849","price":24.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/2787\/5407\/files\/738329258849_f2dc4a4e-dbc9-42c3-8691-59b7682ee0cd.jpg?v=1773844452","url":"https:\/\/cinema1.ca\/products\/738329258849","provider":"Cinema 1 Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
