 A
Time to Rise
by Anand Patwardhan and Jim Monro
On April 6, 1980, the Canadian Farmworkers Union came into existence.
This film documents the conditions among Chinese and East Indian
immigrant workers in British Columbia that provoked the formation
of the union, and the response of growers and labor contractors
to the threat of unionization. Made over a period of two years,
the film is eloquent testimony to the progress of the workers' movement
from the first stirrings of militancy to the energetic canvassing
of union members.
