NOTE: This is unfortunately a Youtube Free With Ads movie, which means Youtube will force you to watch it on the mobile app if you're on mobile so you cannot avoid the ads. Thankfully on desktop a good adblocker (uBlock Origin) will still work and avoid such nasty things.

Wikipedia Article of the movie.

This movie is chock full of excellent acting, witty dialog, and superb cinematography. It touches on so many aspects of history around the worker movement of the 1910's, including the IWW, famous Anarchists, and the troubles it faced.

It's quite unique in that it includes interviews with surviving people who knew John Reed and Louise interspersed with different parts of the movie, making it almost like a docu-drama, but with an incredibly high 32 million dollar budget (equivalent to 112 million today).

If you have any interest in unions, the early socialist movement in the United states, and a particularly well done romance, then I highly, highly recommend giving this a watch.

But be sure to have a good chunk of time to set aside, as the movie is 3 hours long!

EDIT: Hah, forgot I posted this here a year ago. Well, hopefully some new members will be able to see it ^^
