There's a Revolution Underway in S. America ...

 

... but most of the world doesn't know it.  So begins the blurb accompanying Oliver Stone's latest release South of the Border.  The film follows Stone through seven South American republics and records his meetings with that continent's progressive leaders.  From Venezuela's Hugo Chazez, Evo Morales of Bolivia, and Rafael Correa of Ecuador, viewers are treated to a first hand account of how various South American countries are shaking off the shackles of successive free-market, neo-liberal  governments, and investing in the futures of hundreds of millions of working class people.

 

What Have the Unions Ever Done For Us?

Best Labour Video of 2010

LabourStart's award for best labour video of 2010 has been given to the Australian production "What Have the Unions ever Done For Us?"  In typical Aussie style the language is at times quite industrial.  But for anyone who's ever been asked this question it's well worth watching and remembering.
