Native Land is a 1942 docudrama film directed by Leo Hurwitz and Paul Strand.[1]
Synopsis
A combination of a documentary format and staged reenactments (influenced by the cinematic works of Sergei Eisenstein and Aleksandr Dovzhenko), the independently produced film depicted the struggle of trade unions against union-busting corporations, their spies and contractors. It was based on the 1938 report of the La Follette Committee's investigation of the repression of labor organizing.[2][3]
Famous African-American singer, actor and activist Paul Robeson participated as an off-screen narrator and vocalist.[4][5]

Restoration and re-release
A restored version of the film was released in 2011. The film was restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive, funded by the Packard Humanities Institute.[6]
The new print was made “from the original 35mm nitrate picture negative, a 35mm safety duplicate negative, and a 35mm safety up-and-down track negative.”[6]
The restoration premiered at the UCLA Festival of Preservation on March 26, 2011[6] and was screened at other North American cities in 2011 including Vancouver.[7]
