EYE OF THE STORM (2007) Amie Williams

(Trailer) -- EYE OF THE STORM (Amie Williams, 2007) depicts the 2002 contract struggle between west coast longshore workers and international shippers who ultimately locked out thousands of workers from ports on the west coast. The film offers interviews and news clips showing all sides and actions in the 2002 struggle, which lasted nine months, and gives a history of the ILWU from its birth during the bloody 1934 west coast maritime strike through today, as a grass-roots-led progressive democratic force within American labor.

Interesting video. To think that something like that could ever happen. Guess, it goes to show you how much we still have to learn about this world and the people in it.

As a member who was there. I have to say this DVD is the smartest move we could have made. Lets hope it goes to The Sundance Film Festival and wins a prize. Lets hope it gets on HBO!
