Free Screening of "Sicko"  

The DC Labor Filmfest continues its Free Monthly screenings with a showing of Michael Moore's Academy Award-nominated documentary "Sicko." Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore applies his usual sharp-edged satirical style to America’s dysfunctional healthcare system, using humor to tell compelling stories of everyday people faced with extraordinary and bizarre challenges in their quest for basic health coverage. More than just a film, the documentary has become a stunningly effective organizing tool as healthcare advocates have used it as to enrage, educate and mobilize activists across the country. Special screening in conjunction with the AFL-CIO Health Care Campaign’s Spring Lift-Off Action Plan, with hundreds of Labor Councils nationwide focusing on this issue during the month of April.

Presented by the DC Labor FilmFest, the Metro Washington Council AFL-CIO and hosted by the National Labor College.
