One hundred years ago the IWW had approximately 100,000 members and were a truly radical force on the American left. This film from 1979 interviews members of the IWW who tell their own stories about why they joined, the actions they took part in and the repression they suffered at the hands of the state and private goons. The US government cracked down on the IWW in the 1920s with a ferocity greater even than that inflicted during the McCarthy red scare of the 1950s.
