Prior to the free concert at the Beanery, a documentary film about Julius Margolin debuted at Southern Oregon University. “A Union Man” is the story of Julius’ life through his own eyes as well as those he’s met and worked with. The film features guest appearances by Utah Phillips, Faith Petric and former NMU Vice President Joe Stack, and has concert performances as well. “A Union Man” is an affectionate portrait of a 90 year old rank-and-file activist still in the struggle for justice and workers’ rights. “A Union Man” was produced by George Mann and the editing was performed by Ashland videographer Steve Ryan.
