Join us along with guest Director David Jepsen for “Labor Wars of the Northwest,” the compelling story of the working men and women who fought for fairness and dignity in the Pacific Northwest.

Blending interviews with labor historians with hundreds of historical photographs and films, “Labor Wars” brings the region’s labor history to life. From the strikes and deadly violence in the cities, to the struggles played out for fairness and equity in the courts, the story defines what it meant to live and work in the Pacific Northwest.

A discussion led by Director David Jepsen will follow the film.

Special Guests: David Jepsen
