The Strike () is a 1914 Swedish silent drama film directed by Victor Sjöström. The film was noted for exemplifying the director's "strong sense of realism (...) for some scenes were shot during a real strike".
The film is considered to be lost.
In an article for the Swedish Film Database, Bengt Forslund wrote: "One of the many lost films is particularly interesting, however, Strejken, Socialt skÃÂ¥despel in 3 aktres, (1915). The subject itself must have been a hotbed, especially as the First World War broke out in the summer of 1914, which required solidarity from everyone, not a strike. The film also sat dormant for over a year before it was released and was only reviewed in the form of a notice. âÂÂThe subject is tiring in these times,â Stockholms-Tidningen laconically stated.
The script certainly has several melodramatic elements, but the core of the story is a real strike at a factory."
