Plot Summary:Paul Robeson narrates a mix of dramatizations and archival footage about the bill of rights being under attack during the 1930s by union busting corporations, their spies and contractors. In dramatizations, we see a farmer beaten for speaking up at a meeting, a union man murdered in a boarding house, two sharecroppers near Fort Smith Arkansas shot by men deputized by the local sheriff, a spy stealing the names of union members, and a dead Chicago union man eulogized. In archival footage we witness police and goons beating lawfully assembled union organizers, and we see men at work and union families at play. The narration celebrates patriotism and democracy.
Cameraman, Paul Strand
在费城美术馆的Paul Strand展览中看了一些片段。左派的爱国主义宣传/纪录片。纪录片部分是美国劳动人民的一天,看起来颇有点Man with A Camera的感觉。
