“Great films are great stories, and some of the great
stories of ourtime are the comedies and dramas of working life,” says American University
Professor Pat Aufderheide. “These are stories, when they’re told right, that
show us how central work is to our culture. “
Seven films that tell such stories are featured in the
first-ever DC Labor FilmFest, scheduled for September 6-9. Co-sponsored by the
Metro Washington Council, AFL-CIO, the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute and the
American Film Institute, the festival brings films, directors, workers and
activists together in an exploration and celebration of the struggle for
economic and social justice.
