Stephen Maing + Brett Story (Dir), USA/Canada, Western New York Premiere

Co-Director Brett Story in attendance.

The Amazon Labor Union (ALU) — a group of current and former Amazon workers in New York City’s Staten Island — takes on one of the world’s largest and most powerful companies in the fight to unionize. Chronicling the historic efforts of the ALU, UNION is an intimate and surprising story of dogged determination, unorthodox tactics, and speaking up despite David vs. Goliath odds.

Many thanks to the folks at The Film Collaborative.

Special introduction by Rachael Homewood, Senior Advisor at Foreign Affairs & Diplomatic Service, Consulate General of Canada in NY
