This film documents the conditions among Chinese and East Indian immigrant workers in British Columbia that provoked the formation of the union, and the response of growers and labor contractors to the threat of unionization. Made over a period of two years, the film is eloquent testimony to the progress of the workers’ movement from the first stirrings of militancy to the energetic canvassing of union members. -- - Rohit  ---------------------- Regards, Rohit Rellan http://www.linkedin..com/in/rohitrellan Follow me on TWITTER: twitter.com/rohitrellan Be my friend on FACEBOOK:http://www.facebook.com/rohit.rellan Skype :rohitrellan WeWork: WeWork office spaces supports businesses through a network of 150,000+ members who work with each other across the world.
