47m; Canada

Director: Marta Nielsen-Hastings, David Wesley, Micheal Allder

Synopsis: On July 14, 1946, a group of steelworkers poured out of Hamilton’s Playhouse Theatre and set up pickets around the country’s largest steel mill. Their action sparked one of the most important strikes in our country’s history – a strike which many consider to be the birth of the modern labour movement.
