SUMMARY:Underground Gallery Exhibition by Nina Berman: "Evidence and Fantasy - Militarism in American Life"
DESCRIPTION:Nina Berman is an award-winning documentary photographer based in New York City\, widely publicized and exhibited\, with a primary interest in the American political and social landscape. Her work examines the influence of war and militarism on American life at this time in our history when so many resources\, both human and material\, are dedicated to military pursuit. Many of the soldiers Nina met said they thought it would be fun\, but their experiences told a different story. She became interested in how as a culture we visualize and fantasize war and what role the burgeoning homeland security state plays in the creation and dissemination of these fantasies. This exhibition featured her series Homeland\, Purple Hearts\, and Marine Weddings. The exhibition will be on view from September 26th through December 12th\, 2009.

SUMMARY:"Workers' Republic" with Filmmaker Andrew Freund
DESCRIPTION:Workers’ Republic (2009) is a story of the courage\, resolve\, creativity\, and solidarity of the workers at Republic Windows and Doors in Chicago\, who stood up for their rights after being thrown out of work three weeks before Christmas 2008.  \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace and the Troy Area Labor Council. \n\n\n\nWorkers’ Republic(Filmmaker: Andrew Freund\, 2009\, 62 min)“When the economy fell\, they stood up.” \n\n\n\nThree weeks before Christmas 2008\, in the depths of the economic crisis\, Chicago company Republic Windows and Doors told their workforce that the factory was closing shop. Republic executives complained about dwindling sales due to the crash of the housing market. Three days later\, when the Republic employees came in to pick up their final paychecks\, they were informed that they would not be paid for their final week or receive their accrued vacation pay. Their insurance benefits were cut immediately\, and they were denied the 60-day severance guaranteed under the federal WARN Act. \n\n\n\nWhat those workers did next reverberated across the country\, reminding the working class it possesses a power long forgotten. They occupied the doomed factory 24-hours a day for six days\, declaring they would not leave until they were given what their employer owed them. \n\n\n\nWorkers’ Republic conveys the courage\, the resolve\, the creativity\, and the solidarity of those window-builders who vowed to stand up for their rights. From the opening moments to the final settlement and culminating in the surprise fate of the Chicago factory\, the film commits one of American society’s most grievous sins: speaking in favor of radical action as a solution to exploitation. \n\n\n\nFilmmaker and union steward Andrew Freund has assembled the accounts of several of the main fighters in the Republic struggle\, including front line workers\, the organizers of their tiny union United Electrical\, Radio\, & Machine Workers\, and a few of the thousands of everyday people that supported them through small acts of solidarity. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nFilmmaker Andrew Freund is an Emmy-nominated videographer whose work has appeared on PBS and Chicago television stations. He worked on the upcoming documentary film\, Immigrant Nation. Freund has produced several half-hour episodes for the non-profit\, pro-union TV show Labor Beat\, and serves as chairman of its board. He resides in Chicago and is an activist against war and domestic violence\, and uses his video skills to campaign for workers’ rights. He is an IBEW steward. His new film\, Workers’ Republic\, documents the December 2008 factory occupation of Republic Windows and Doors by its laid-off employees.
