In the spring of 1919, over 30,000 workers in Winnipeg walked off the job in the largest general strike in Canadian history. In this moving musical adaptation, two star-crossed lovers – a Ukrainian refugee and a Jewish suffragette – meet and fall in love as they each take on key roles in this historic fight for improved working conditions.
Released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Winnipeg General Strike that forever changed the labour movement in Canada, Stand! shows that while we’re now living in a different time, the power of joining together to fight for your rights hasn’t changed.
“A film that is actually about something, made by people who are expert storytellers.” – Neil Weisensel, The Globe and Mail
