1979!!
> Why does the Western world look to migrant labourers to perform the most menial tasks? What compels people to leave their homes and accept this humiliating situation? In A Seventh Man, Berger and Jean Mohr come to grips with what it is to be a migrant worker – the material circumstances and the inner experience – and, in doing so, reveal how the migrant is not so much on the margins of modern life but at its centre.

On April 6, 1980, the #Canadian #Farmworkers #Union came into existence. This film documents the conditions among #Chinese and #EastIndian #ImmigrantWorkers in #BritishColumbia that provoked the formation of the union, and the response of growers and #labour contractors to the threat of #unionization. Made over a period of two years, the #documentary film is eloquent testimony to the progress of the #WorkersMovement from the first stirrings of militancy to the energetic canvassing of union members.
