This Oscar-nominated documentary tells the dramatic story of the women of the great General Motors sit-down strike—an event that changed American labor history. The women reunited 40 years later to show the strike's ongoing relevance. 1979, 45min "Full of drama, insight and general good humor, coupled with a remarkable use of stock footage, sets a high standard for future compilation films. With Babies and Banners succeeds in making concerns that were alive 40 years ago strikingly relevant today as well." – Variety Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW) president – and Labor Goes to the Movies podcast co-host – Elise Bryant will host a Q&A afterwards with Lyn Goldfarb.
