"I was there when we brought the Union in. The first-time contract they won for us was unbelievable. It changed the quality of my life. I am now a Shop Steward and enjoy working with my Union and looking after my fellow workers. "
Based on a true story, the movie Stand! is the result of the collaboration between the movie’s producers, the labour movement in North America and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Stand! gives viewers a glimpse into the six-week long Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, when 30,000 workers walked off their jobs in hopes for better wages, safer working conditions and recognition of their unions. The movie has been called the "next Norma Rae".
