In 1978 we produced the 35 min. documentary "Du sollst dich nie vor  einem
lebenden Menschen bucken" Willi Bleicher, directed by Hannes Karnick and
Wolfgang Richter.

It is a portrait of a famous post war trade union leader of the region of
Stuttgart. He was the opponent of Hans Martin Schleyer, head of association
of industry, kidnapped and killed by terrorists.

Bleicher was imprisoned by the Nazi rule due to his political engagement as
trade unionist and communist. In the camp of Buchenwald he saved the life of
a child brought into the camp. This story was the basis of the novel "Nackt
unter Wolfen" by the author Bruno Apitz - also a feature film was produced
in the former GDR. After the war he spoke very seldom of this experience,
fearing the people would not believe what happened.

All the best
Hannes Karnick

Betreff: Re: [SCREEN-L] unions in films


Philippe -- If you're interested in the labor movement and broadcasting in
the US, check out articles by Elizabeth Fones-Wolf on radio and
labor. She's published several, and has a book: Selling Free Enterprise:
The Business Assault on Labor and Liberalism (Urbana: University of
Illinois Press, 1994) . There's also Nathan Godfried's book WCFL:
Chicago's Voice of Labor, 1926-1978 (Urbana: University of Illinois Press,
1997).

And have you ever seen the Paul Muni/Michael Curtiz film Black Fury from
1935? Classic WB.

Good luck -- Michele
