Re: [Marxism] request for political film suggestions

For a critical presentation of the first Gulf War, with relevance to the
present one, you might want to consider "Three Kings" with Mark Wahlberg,
George Clooney and Ice Cube. For labor issues in America, "American
Dreams[?]" is good--it's a documentary about the Hormel strikes in the
mid-80s (Reagan-time) in Minnesota. The interesting thing about the latter
is that it shows a rather militant union local going against its national
leadership.--CP
