Directed by Yael Bridge

USA, 2026, 1h 37min, DCP

Featuring an in-person Q&A with producer Yoni Golijov.

As 340,000 United Parcel Service workers prepare for contract negotiations that could lead to a strike, younger members of the union turn to the lessons of the 1997 general strike that halted shipping in the United States. This poignant and powerful film about work, organizing, and life viscerally illustrates the dynamism of collective action and the contemporary pressures faced by the American working class. Our Opening Night selection.
