A short project about the long arc of history and time travel. Two labor activists are caught up in a time warp. It's 1905, the year in which the IWW is founded, and in which Einstein presents his Theory of Special Relativity, a key component in some models of time travel. This experience compels them to wonder about the nature of time and space, and also to contemplate their own place in history—the impact of their activities, the likelihood that the future will remember them.
