Details.
Wiki.
The Free Voice of Labor: The Jewish Anarchists is a 1980 documentary film about the history of Jewish Anarchists in the United States. It was made by Steven Fischler and Joe Sucher through their independent production company Pacific Street Films. The film focuses on the Jewish Anarchist movement that arose from sweatshop workers in the United States, along with their lives as new immigrants back then and their then contemporary retirement. The film's raison d'etre was the coverage of the closing of the Fraye Arbeter Shtime; the first and primary Jewish Anarchist newspaper in America, in 1977. The film makes active use of the Yiddish language: with interviews, clips of historical movies, and songs in the language.
The film features scenes from Uncle Moses (1932); a Yiddish Language film about the labour struggles within the Jewish community in America.
