From Michael Zweig:
Dear Friends and Colleagues
I am pleased to report that the trailer/preview for the documentary video Meeting Face to Face: Iraqi labor Leaders Tour the U.S. – June 2005 is now complete and available. Please click: Meeting Face to Face to view the Web page for the documentary and see the trailer (7 minutes 17 seconds).
In June 2005 six senior Iraqi trade union leaders toured the United States hosted by U.S. Labor Against the War, visiting 25 cities and speaking to several thousand unionists, peace activists, and others. This documentary captures the energy and emotions of the tour while expressing the important substantive message Iraqi workers want to convey to all Americans: end the occupation of Iraq; oppose the privatization of Iraqi national resources; and support the right of all Iraqi workers to organize free and independent trade unions.
The documentary takes the story beyond the tour to the AFL-CIO national convention in July 2005 where delegates voted to support the rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, for the first time in history opposing an on-going U.S. war.
