Where do You Stand? (2004)
On June 23rd 1999, after 25 years of struggle, textile workers in Kannapolis, North Carolina won the single largest industrial union victory in the history of the South, a region long known as a bastion of anti-union sentiment.
Where Do You Stand? traces the story of that epic and often bitter struggle and examines the efforts of workers to cope with a rapidly changing social and economic climate. Told primarily through the voices of those active in the numerous attempts to organize the union, the film offers an intimate and compelling portrait of American workers as they face the myriad challenges of the post-industrial age.
This film is shown
as part of MASS MoCA's Working Films Festival. All tickets are $6.

The End of Suburbia (2004)
with James Howard Kunstler, author of The Geography of Nowhere and Home from Nowhere and The City in Mind: Notes on the Urban Condition
As we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of the suburban way of life. With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. World Oil Peak and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels are upon us now, some scientists and policy makers argue in this documentary.
This event is sponsored by the Bennington Energy Committee - 7PM March 12
