Part of the 2024 Bristol Radical Film Festival.

Grassroots activism lies at the heart of this involving film, which follows a group of people fighting for better working conditions at Amazon. An account of the formation of the first Amazon Labor Union, led by Chris Smalls, who quit over unsafe working conditions. The film bears witness to long, tense conversations between union organisers, which are intercut with recordings of conversations surreptitiously captured inside the facility and footage of activists´ arrests. In-fighting, personality clashes and class tensions – not to mention nasty union-busting tactics – threaten progress. The directors capture moments of landmark success, but the film makes clear that this is just the beginning of a long fight for the company’s 1.5 million employees.
