They Called It the Butcher Shop: The Fleck Strike In Images - In 1978, in Huron Park, Ontario, the women of Fleck Manufacturing walked off of the job and into the history books. Fighting for better wages, safer working conditions, and union security, the strikers embarked on what would become a pivotal strike for both feminism and the labour movement. For five months the strikers faced backlash and police violence, but they also forged new alliances and built community. They Called It The Butcher Shop amplifies the voices of these women as they tell their story of struggle, solidarity, and sisterhood. (15 min, 2025, Canada, Director: Lauren Stoyles) (Trailer)
Threads of A Revolution -When Janet Biehl edited her late partner Murray Bookchin’s approach to participatory politics in the 1970s, she could never have imagined that this work would one day take her half-way across the globe. In this film, Janet explores how Murray’s political theories were adapted to ignite a women-led revolution and bring about remarkable societal transformations in North East Syria. With the recent fall of Assad, we are now at a crucial moment in Syria's history. The country's future is hanging in the balance and the revolution is in grave danger. This film shines a light on a powerful struggle for gender equality and democracy, imagining what Syria’s future could possibly look like. (54 min, 2024, Syria, Directors: Danny Mitchell and Ross Domoney) (Trailer)
