In 2016 the EWTN released a documentary about Alinsky titled ''A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing''
Alinsky's approach to community organizing stressed "self interest as the generating reality of life." This view was solidified by his experiences in the [[Congress of Industrial Organizations]] (CIO) as an organizer in the style of labor union leaders [[Samuel Gompers]] and [[John L. Lewis]]. Alinsky produced notable results like the Back of the Yard and the Woodlawn organizations in Chicago. Alinsky and his Industrial Areas Foundation utilized confrontational tactics and dramatic protests to help members gain bargaining status and a larger share of the local pie. He disavowed with increasing vigor any national issue strategy or ideological outlook. The weakness of his emphasis on the organizer as a tactician only and the granting of control to those organized was that racist goals could be chosen by the membership as a whole.<ref>Alan S.
