The Wobblies (1979)
Directed by Stewart Bird, Deborah Shaffer
“They were welded together by a vision we have forgotten... there has never been anything like them before or since.”
Documentary · 1h 29m
Through oral histories, archival footage, photographs, and songs associated with the movement, "The Wobblies" tells the story of the Industrial Workers of the World, the radical union founded in Chicago in 1905 to organize workers across trades. Featuring interviews with aging Wobbly members alongside historical materials from early twentieth-century labor struggles, the film explores the union’s role in strikes, worker activism, and the broader fight for labor rights in the United States.
