St. David's Anglican Church 49 Donlands Avenue This engaging documentary follows
the staff of a New York pizza franchise as they attempt to unionize while
fighting management abuses. A gripping and suspenseful plot becomes
heart-warming in its depiction of workers uniting for a common cause. The
directors Rachel Lears and Robin Blotnick display the struggle of the workers
(many were undocumented immigrants) and the labor rights lawyers who aid them,
and widen their perspective to consider economic injustice throughout the
service industry. Followed by a discussion on immigrant's rights and advocating
for a living wage.
