Frontier Films
Narrated by: Paul Robeson
Directed by: Leo Hurwitz, Paul Strand

Synopsis: A docu-drama using film footage, photographs and recreated scenes to tell the story of the civil rights battles fought between corporate America and the fledgling unions.

Kitty Cameos: At the beginning of the first recreation, several animals are seen on a farm.  In one shot the farmer’s wife (Mary George) is seen feeding two dogs and a cat.

Later in the film a cat is seen lying on a table next to a man who is printing papers in one of the union meeting places.

Still later in the same room the man finishes one page and shoves it towards the cat’s face.

Final Mewsings: Cats aren’t interested in union literature.
