JOE HILL

1902, Joe and Paul leave their native Sweden for United-States, looking for a better life. They quickly understand that inequalities and poverty are prevailing overthere too. During the journey that leads him from New-York to Western America, Joe Hill meets members from revolutionary pacifist union Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and joins the movement.
Film event and cult, “Joe Hill” is the story of a young man, street artist and activist, whose proletarian songs had a deep impact, dead as a martyr. Totally invisible from his release in 1971, Joe Hill had received the same, the Cannes film festival’s Jury’s Award.
