OG Comrade and extraordinary documentary filmmaker, Anne Lewis, joins Red Library this week to talk the labor movement, oral history, cultural work, and her history in Left politics by way of Alessandro Portelli's book, Biography of an Industrial Town: Terni, Italy, 1831-2014. Anne also offers her wisdom on relating to others and some basics of Leftist politics we can all learn from. 

This is a truly special episode of Red Library you don't want to miss, comrades!

Technical Note: We had a mic malfunction so Anne and I just pass the mic back and forth, old-school style.

Musical Break: "Bandjera Rossa", Anthem of the Italian Communist Party (PCI)
