The Wobblies

In the early 20th century, a coterie of the most influential figures in American labor, trade unionism, and socialism convened to form a revolutionary global and cross-industrial union movement, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). The heyday of the "Wobblies" through the late '20s, before competition from other labor groups and governmental crackdowns sapped the IWW of its impressive early influence, is shared by movement veterans in this fascinating chronicle. 89 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
