Jan 22, 2025 - Book launch: In the Valley of Historical Time

When: January 22nd, 11am

It can be said that the working-class movement at present is standing in the valley of historical time, a place between the completion of the descent of labour movements that began with neoliberal globalisation and its ascent that is yet to begin. The organised strikes in the formal sector, often under the leadership of the central trade unions linked with electoral parties, have declined drastically.

In this book launch, Abhinav Sinha will talk us through key arguments of the book with Tom Vickers acting as discussant.

Jan 22, 2025 - FilmSocial Presents: Sweet Country

When: Wednesday, January 22nd, 7pm
Where: Eyesore Cinema, 1176 Bloor St

Set in the sparsely populated outback of Australia's Northern Territory, Sweet Country explores the tension between European settlers and indigenous people in the period between the two world wars. Based on true events, the film follows the story of Sam Kelly, an aboriginal farm worker who is accused of murdering a white settler and WW1 veteran. Sam is forced to go on the run from a legal and judicial system almost certainly stacked against him.

The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is very pleased to be presenting Sweet Country as the first instalment in 2025 of the ongoing FilmSocial series of film screenings.
