The Organizer
The title character in this darkly comedic Italian drama about mistreated factory workers in Turin is Professor Sinigaglia (Marcello Mastroianni). Working in appalling conditions in a textile mill, these employees have no one to advocate for them until Sinigaglia jeopardizes his academic career by assisting them in starting a strike. Despite the fact that the teacher is scrutinized by unsympathetic authorities, he remains committed to the workers' cause.
