LANCIA DI CHIVASSO - UNA COMUNITÀ OPERAIA NON RASSEGNATA
Country: Italy
Year: 1994
Duration: 60'
This video goes over the steps of the Lancia workers' struggle against the closing of their factory at Chivasso in June and July, 1992. The images shot in the thick of the action and the interviews used in the video bring out not only some issues growing out of the union struggle in its complexity but also some elements that are typical of the cultural and political identity of the workers' community.
