The Lattimer Massacre

Season 10 Episode 6 | 7m 10s

The film reveals how rising union pressure, anti immigrant hostility, and unchecked power collided on September 10, 1897. What began as an unarmed march for fair working conditions ended in gunfire, a whitewashed trial, and decades of collective amnesia, until the graves make the story impossible to ignore.
