Online screening of movie musical ‘Stand!’ will raise funds for nonprofit LSRC

The musical “Stand!” tells the story of the 1919 general strike in Winnipeg, and the movie adaptation was scheduled for wide release in 2020 – before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down movie theaters.

Now, the movie musical is available for streaming, and producers are teaming up with the St. Paul Labor Studies and Resource Center (LSRC), the nonprofit arm of the St. Paul Regional Labor Federation, to present “Stand!” as a fundraiser beginning May 1.

Viewers who purchase a $20 “ticket” to stream the film through a link provided by the Regional Labor Federation will see $12 of their ticket price go toward the LSRC, which helps union members in need across the Twin Cities’ east-metro area.

The film’s Hollywood director, Robert Adetuyi, and composer-producer Danny Schur will celebrate opening night of the film’s run May 1, with an interactive discussion after the 7 p.m. screening.
