 | American Dream
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $5.99 Of all the resources listed here, this true documentary is the best glimpse I've seen yet into the inner workings and challenges of a union strike. The director is the same as for the Harlan County documentary. This is an excellent movie and really helps you realize how difficult it is to be a union member in the face of the "new economy". This is a "must see" movie.
