       in 1995. 
520    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. 
       Through the voices of those on all sides, The uprising of 
       '34 paints a rare portrait of the dynamics of life in mill
       communities, offering a penetrating look at class, race, 
       and power in working communities throughout America and 
       inviting the viewer to consider how those issues affect us
       today. The film raises critical questions about the 
       critical role of history in making democracy work today. A
       thoughtful exploration of the paternalistic relationship 
       between mill management and its employees, the 
       relationship between black and white workers, and the 
       impact of the New Deal on the lives of working people. The
       Uprising of '34 is meant to challenge the myths that 
       Southern workers can't be organized, that they will work 
       for nothing, and that they hate unions, says Stoney. More 
       than a social document, the film is intended to spark 
       discussion on class, race, economics, and power issues as 
       vital today as they were 77 years ago. This is more than a
       story about a strike; it's a story about community. We 
       went out of our way to make sure that we didn't make a 
       'which side are you on' film, says Helfand. The thrust of 
       this film is to give the workers their chance to speak, 
       adds Rostock. We're very proud of the fact that here's a 
       film in which they speak for themselves [with no 
       narrator]. Filmmaker: George C. Stoney, Judith Helfand, 
       Susanne Rostock.
