Description
"In January, 1969 oil workers in Northern California struck. The local police and the Standard Oil goon squads attacked the strikers and their families, killing one and injuring others. The striking students from San Francisco State were asked to join the struggle. For the first time workers and students fight together against their common enemy. Footage includes speeches of Bob Avakian"--http://www.newsreel.us/rozNR2.htm#12
