Watch Verona

What had started as a strike between the town's shingle weavers union and the mill owners turned into a free-speech fight between the IWW and Sheriff McRae, a man elected twice with the support of labor. The violence escalated, leaving the town torn in half, the shingle weavers union destroyed, and seven men dead. With a style reminiscent of Ken Burns and Steve James, VERONA relates the forgotten story and explores how those who have power and money continue to successfully turn the rest of us against each other.

Verona is a 2017 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 36 minutes.
