The Uprising of '34 : Filmmaking as Community Engagement

The Uprising of ‘34 film project began in 1988, when sociologist Vera Rony asked George Stoney to make a film about the General Textile Strike of 1934, in which 400,000 workers in the South demanded improved working conditions and better wages, believing they were protected by New Deal labor legislation. Rony had organized a group of thirty scholars into the Consortium of the South-Wide Textile Strike of 1934 to study this tragic episode, which ended in defeat and humiliation for the strikers (and death for some), and set back the union cause in the South for decades. Those who lived through the event, and paid a high price for their participation, found little reason to remember or recount their experiences. The story had disappeared both from public memory and official histories.
