The Uprising of '34 is a startling documentary which tells the story of the General Strike of 1934, a massive but little-known strike by hundreds of thousands of Southern cotton mill workers during the Great Depression. The mill workers' defiant stance — and the remarkable grassroots organizing that led up to it — challenged a system of mill owner control that had shaped life in cotton mill communities for decades. Sixty years after the government brutally suppressed the strike, a dark cloud still hangs over this event, spoken of only in whispers if at all

  • The business class prefers to keep that level of violent repression swept under the rug and organized labor had rather talk about the San Francisco dock strike or the Minneapolis Teamsters strike, they won.

    That big red abandoned mill is in Atlanta right down the street from my house, it's loft apartments now but my grandfather and generations of my neighbors worked there.
