Native Land background

Native Land

A wave of attacks on the Bill of Rights swept the nation in the 1930s, as corporations, spies, and contractors collaborated to undermine workers' rights.

Paul Robeson narrates a documentary that explores the 1930s struggle against union busting corporations and their tactics to silence workers, featuring dramatizations and archival footage. The film highlights violent attacks on union members, including a beaten Michigan farmer, a murdered union man in Cleveland, and two sharecroppers shot in Arkansas. It also shows police brutality and union families at work and play.
