    Can reporter William Patterson handle the big, Winnipeg general strike story? Is it union recognition and demands for fair wages and safe working conditions? Or is it an attempt at revolution, as red-fearing opponents insist? Winnipeg is reeling from the Spanish flu and the aftermath of World War I. Now with the fear of communism and the deepening divide between race and class, the city is a ticking time bomb. As the strike reaches its violent climax, can Patterson confront his demons, expose corruption and report the truthToronto Advocate reporter William Patterson is sent to cover the Winnipeg general strike.
