Disc Two features computer-accessible DVD-ROM content including MP3s, PDFs, and other assorted documentation & reading materials.
PICKAXE
An eclectic mix of activists take a stand to protect an old growth forest from logging at Warner Creek in the Willamette National Forest of Oregon, blockading the logging road and repelling the State Police. Over months a community builds around the illegal blockade as it develops into the Cascadia Free State and similar actions spread across the region. Years after its release, Pickaxe has become a classic document of the potential for grassroots direct action to achieve victory against the forces of both government and big business. Lovingly crafted by the participants themselves, the film expertly presents every moment, from confrontation to celebration. Includes new commentary track by filmmakers Tim Lewis and Tim Ream. [94 min.]
BREAKING THE SPELL
An hour-long look at the 1999 Seattle WTO protests and the anarchists who traveled there to set a new precedent for militant confrontation, this documentary picks up where Pickaxe left off. Filmed in the thick of the action, including footage that aired nationally on 60 Minutes, it captures a moment when world history was up for grabs. Includes new commentary track by filmmakers Tim Lewis, Tim Ream & Sir Chuck A. Rock. [63 min.]
THE MIAMI MODEL
Against the prescribed template of paramilitary oppression, information warfare, and profit above all values, activists converge in Miami to demonstrate grassroots resistance, creative action, and international solidarity—a clash between competing visions of globalization, soon to be known as the Miami Model. Indymedia activists shot hundreds of hours documenting the 2003 FTAA protests in Miami and shaped it into a documentary that cuts through the mass media blackout to reveal the brutal repression and assault on civil liberties that took place, as well as the inspiring alternatives to capitalist globalization that were also in full effect in Miami. [91 min.]

La Huelga de los Locos
Date: 1/1/2002Call Number: V 287Format: VHSProducers: Mariana ArrutiCollection: Videos in many formats – both camera originals as well as reference materials
En el año 1956, un año después del golpe de Estado que derroca al General Perón, la Federación de Obreros en Construcciones Navales, de tradición anarquista, inicia reclamos por las 6 horas de trabajo debido a las tareas insalubres, invocando el derecho a la cultura y al tiempo libre. Las patronales comienzan a cerrar sus puertas originando un Lock Out patronal.
Los obreros Navales transforman el Lock Out en un huelga, resistiendo durante 14 meses - conocida como la huelga más larga del siglo - en defensa de sus puestos de trabajo.
El conflicto gremial se pierde. La patronal reconoce un sindicato paralelo que no representa los intereses de los trabajadores. La industria naval comienza a declinar y los puertos argentinos prácticamente no construyen ni reparan buques.
Los obreros de la Construcción Naval, sin embargo, recuerdan esta huelga como un hecho histórico y personal, y se siguen reuniendo para conmemorarla, como un hito en la historia de Argentina, que recupera la dignidad y la libertad.
