Joe Hill (2015)
“Two men are on trial before the Third District Court in Salt Lake City. One is the IWW poet and song writer Joe Hill, a name known to many, and now a face that begins to be known too, a sensitive and thoughtful and fine face, with a resolute mouth and eyes like a compassionate Christ. Folders bearing his picture are stuck up in every hall west of the Big Sioux; an indignation meeting in New York has marched with his portrait on banners; sailors have carried the story of his case over the world.... Shining with firm innocence, victimized because of his organizing activities, Joe Hill rises out of the murk of the labor wars, still serving the cause even in the System’s jail. More than life-size, of an immortal calmness and unshakable resolution, he takes shape in the minds of thousands, legendary, even mythical: Labor’s Songster.
