A Kennedy has reappeared to lead the way. Don't let the press fool you. He's leading a campaign of unity, compassion, and revolution. The largest voting block in the US is independent now. Change is coming, but we better hope it comes with someone who has the prudence, empathy, and wisdom to do it right.
I grew up just a couple of blocks away from the old prison where he was killed. I got radicalized at the Joe Hill House of Hospitality in SLC run by Ammon Hennacy. Every Fri night he'd give a talk and then Bruce "Utah" Phillips would lead us in singing the old labor songs of the IWW
Joe Hill! I learned about him from Phil Ochs, and then i became obsessed with him. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we made people like Joe Hill our national heroes?
A personal favourete of mine is why don't the unions like me by blind john Robbins 1893 1934he was the last one who was killed in the longshoremans strike of 1936
Ordered this DVD and enjoyed viewing it; my heritage from my dad is Cajun. It won't be long before the true Cajun accent and the Cajun music will be lost except for these recordings and a few who will continue to play occasionally in this style.
Love it...I'm sure we're related but I don't know through who. I'm an Abshire with family in Morse, Lyons Point, Gueydan, and Crowley areas. Small world... thank you for sharing this!

Hi Paul - It will be available. We're doing a couple of tweaks on it. I'll keep you posted. We've got 1 other doc in the works with a Louisiana theme - about an older woman from Rayne. We're based in Chicago, so it's slow going. Any ideas would always be welcome. Thanks for watching! -Eric
Hi AmalgamatedMW, Is there ANY way to purchase this video? What is full length? Do you or are you planning any other Cajun/south Louisiana documentaries or videos? If so I would LOVE to pass along a few ideas to you. Thanks for this AWESOME clip Blessings Paul
Hi Mairabella- It's showing at a bunch of festivals - the next is ReelHeART International Film Fest in Toronto (that's NORTH America at least) on June 21st. I'll be posting all US screenings or broadcasts here, so stay tuned! Thanks for the comments. Leo was a wonderful guy & a great musician.
