Deadline for Action
Produced for UE by Carl Marzani
Union Films
A Classic Film From the UE Archives.Exposes the corporate forces that working people and UE members faced following World War II. The names and statistics in this exciting and dramatic film have changed, but not the point. Critically acclaimed and widely shown, this film so enraged U.S. big business (including General Electric and Westinghouse) that the filmmaker (Carl Marzani) was sent to prison, becoming the first domestic victim of the McCarthy era. (Includes footage of long-time UE officers Albert Fizgerald, James Matles, and Julius Emspak). Useful for discussions of UE history, economics, and corporate power.

Mouseland
(Two versions) Easily the best and funniest introduction to independent political action that you'll ever see! The class struggle and political parties dominated by big-business interests are seen as a cat-and-mouse game in the not-so-mythical land of Mouseland. This cartoon-style film is good for consciousness-raising, discussions and meetings. Now, there are two versions available the original (produced by the British Columbia New Democratic Party) with clay figures and an animated version (produced by the United Food and Commercial Workers in Canada; made available by the Labor Party). Please specify version when ordering.
Running Time: 8 minutes VHS Video
Specify: Original (NDP) or New (UFCW) Version

Myth, The Money And The Many
Classic Fred Wright Cartoon Films
Fred Wright's classic animated film effectively refutes the big business lie that wages cause high prices and, somehow, working people have too much money. It's humorous and filled with hard hitting facts especially about those who DO have too much money! Statistical data is dated but this video stands the test of time. Ideal for discussions and union meetings.
