“The Big Finn Hall” written and directed by Kelly Saxberg and produced by Ron Harpelle of Franco Finn Films,
is a feature length docu-drama, in Finnish and English, about the lively culture and politics at the heart of Canada’s most vibrant labour hall. In 1910, a group of Finnish immigrants built the Finnish Labour Temple in Thunder Bay, Ontario. In its early days it was inseparably linked to the radical politics of Canadian labour and the left. The Big Finn Hall was a place where Finnish immigrant culture and politics sparked many of the most tumultuous episodes in Canadian labour history. This film will integrate archival footage, photos and fictionalized scenes to bring to life the Hall’s dramatic past."
