      abstract = {When it was built in 1918, the Ford motor plant in Detroit  was the largest industrial complex in the world. The plant  was the embodiment of Henry Ford's vision to build cars  that every American working man could afford to buy. Using  old footage, The Rouge captures the flavor of the early  part of the century when thousands of workers flocked to  Detroit in search of a better life. They came from Europe,  from Mexico, and the southern United States to work on the  assembly line. The Rouge became an important part of labor  history from the time it was built until the time it was  organized by the United Auto Workers in 1941. When the  Depression hit the country, the Rouge workers were laid off  and suffered in great numbers. At the height of the  depression, five workers were killed outside of the plant's  gates while participating in a hunger march. In another  labor incident, Walter Reuther and other United Auto  Workers organizers were beaten up by Ford s security guard  in an incident known as the Battle of the Overpass. Through  archival footage and first-hand accounts by the Italian,  Ukranian, Mexican, African American and Irish who spent  their lives in the factory, the struggle of the workers is  made vivid for a new generation.},
