This week on Marxists at the Movies, we kick off International Workers Month with a working-class hero who shouted union and shook the system. Sally Field’s Oscar-winning turn as Norma Rae is more than a performance—it’s a rallying cry. We unpack the film’s roots in labor history, its radical legacy, and the way it still resonates with anyone who’s ever dared to stand up and fight back. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t just a movie. It was a movement.
