San Francisco State: On Strike is a 1969 documentary produced by The Newsreel that chronicles the five-month-long student strike at San Francisco State College during the Fall of 1968. The film captures the efforts of the Third World Liberation Front (TWLF) as they mobilized students to demand the establishment of a Black Studies Department and to address systemic racism within the educational system. The documentary provides an in-depth look at the protests, the university's response, and the broader implications for ethnic studies in American academia.
