You are invited to take part in a night of film about the worldwide labor movement within the world economy.

On Monday, April 26, 2004, at 7pm in the Community Television studio, Reelwork Mayday labor film festival will be showing three movies which depict the global movement against neoliberal free trade policies. Your Tax Dollars at Work documents the well-funded police repression of free speech at the recent protest in Miami; Friend Or Foe is a documentary about thousands of Korean workers who formed a formidable movement in times of downsizing, and Shots on the Docks recounts the violent police attack on protesters and ILWU activists at the port of Oakland last April. Speaking will be Steve Zelzter, a prominent documentary film maker and founder of the Labor Video Project.

The Reelwork Mayday Labor Film Festival shows films around every May Day about the ongoing struggles workers worldwide have gone through, and the victories they have won. Movies are shown this from Sunday, April 25th to Saturday, May 1st, at a variety of public venues.
