Apprentice Plumbers Citizen Films Showcase (UA Local 1) - For the 3rd year, apprentice plumbers from SUNY Empire State’s Harry Van Arsdale Jr. Center for Labor Studies are empowered to share a snapshot of their working lives by creating their own short 5-6 min films. Using only a smartphone, they are taught how to shoot and edit video in order to depict a personal truth that might otherwise be framed incorrectly in the mainstream media. The goal is to have 100,000 citizen journalists from the labor movement tell our stories online everyday. (2019, approx. 1 hr 45 min)
Shorts (to precede):
Work - The camera captures the everydayness of labor while observing workers at the Hudson Yards development, the largest construction site currently in the United States. Hudson Yards, until recently, had been the site of large protests by the #CountMeIn movement, to protest the union bashing tactics of the wealthy Hudson Yards developer, Steve Ross and Related Properties. The constant pressure applied by local unions, especially Local 3 IBEW, has recently brought The Related Company back to the bargaining table. (2018, 13 min)
