  • Cinema Village 22 East 12th Street New York, NY, 10003 United States (map)

HAYMARKET: THE BOMB, THE ANARCHISTS, THE LABOR STRUGGLE - The Chicago Haymarket Affair, where a bomb thrown into the ranks of Police was followed by an eruption of panic and violence resulting in a trial and execution of presumably innocent workers' rights activists, is examined in this feature documentary film. Expert historians and professors present the history of the bomb, the anarchist movement of the 19th century, and the labor struggle of working people fighting for a shorter workday during the industrial might of America's Gilded Age. (83 min, 2021, Director: Adrian Prawica)

Committing to Make It True - Poster IMPEGNARSI PERCHE' SI AVVERI - 1000h.jpg

COMMITTING TO MAKE IT COME TRUE - THE CISL, THE LABOUR UNION - The temptations to stay separated, to reason with the "I" and not with the "we", are just around the corner today, even in the world of work. This is the beginning of a journey into the social commitment in the Labour Union of young and old which tells us that it’s time to commit, all together, to build a better world: a moral obligation to "committing to make it come true". (7 min, Italy, 2020, Director: Giovanni Panozzo)
