The world 100 years after the Paterson Strikes
In 1913… hundreds of disgruntled workers gathered together to stand against the industrial machine… they stood for what they thought was a small cause until the IWW showed them how important their demonstration would be.
They stood for weeks with their hands in their pockets…a promise they made to keep from coming to blows.
They failed but ultimately, they changed the rules forever more.
