Friday Film: Ethel MacDonald: An Anarchist's Story
This documentary-drama tells the story of Ethel MacDonald, a remarkable young woman whose name hit the world headlines during the Spanish Civil War. She was hailed as the Scarlet Pimpernel of the workers revolution but has since become something of a forgotten legend.

Ethel MacDonald (24 February 1909—1 December 1960) was a Glasgow-based Scottish anarchist and activist and, in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, a propagandist on Barcelona Anarchist radio.

THE TAKE:

The film 'The Take' , by the Canadian team of Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis, has become something of an 'alternative classic'. It tells the story of how an auto plant in Buenos Aires, Argentina was threatened with closure by its owners and was taken over by the workers involved and reopened as a producers' cooperative. This is the sort of action that Molly has long advocated here, and it was actually done, in a situation such as an auto plant that Molly thinks is doubtful (see my comments on the recent workers' occupation of the auto plant in South Korea). But it did happen in at least one place.

This film is now available for download and viewing at another Winnipeg site, the Insurrectionary People's Picture Show Theater. Check it out over there, and see all the other treats they have available.

FRIDAY JUNE 19 - FIREBIRD 2015 AD
Continuing my series of presentations from Canada's Tax Shelter era, this one is about a time in the not-so-distant future where government tyranny has made it a crime to drive. But deep in the wastes of Drumheller, Kolchak himself, Darren McGavin, is drivin' up a storm, to the dismay of the authorities. canuxploitation.com evokes the film's vision of a future where 'People still drive slick sports cars, and have CB radios in their dune buggys...will have you calling everybody "good buddy" for days.'




imdb users rave:
"This is both a thinking man's piece, and a movie with action. The characters present an upside. One of the best movies of this genre."
''it does sport some fine Alberta Badlands scenery.''
"oh gee, it's The Dukes of Hazzard meets 1984''
"during the ho-hum race scenes, I kept on expecting Batman himself to drive by, flipping everyone the finger.''
"Doug McClure doesn't even bother to phone in his performance--he submits it by Morse code.''
"why are there roads if there are no cars?"
