Documenting Workers’ Lives at the 2015 DC Labor Fest: Films About Life and Labor
"The DC Labor Fest – sponsored by the Metro Washington Labor Council and supported by numerous other labor and social justice organizations — provides a forum for numerous forms of cultural productions with a focus on working people that is rare in our corporate-driven culture industry," writes Kurt Stand in The Washington Socialist. "The films, music, art and walking tours open a window on the experiences, ideas, aspirations of individual workers and of their collective struggles. Two film events shown on successive evenings, May 11 and 12, speak to the larger achievement of the festival as a whole." Click here to read the whole report.
