Day 112: Hollywood strike “Still going strong”
Broadcast on November 2, 2023
Hosted by Chris Garlock and Elise Bryant
On this week's show:
The Hollywood actors’ strike is 112 days old; Strike for Our Rights Executive Director Sarah Moe talks with actor Kaliswa Brewster about the Halloween picket, the threat of AI, how the strike has built solidarity and how her union – SAG-AFTRA -- saved her life.
In the second part of our interview with Andrew Tilson, the founder and director of the Workers Unite! Film Festival, as well as several filmmakers -- Sean Claffey (Americonned), Bryony Gilbey (Honorable But Broken - EMS In Crisis),
Sean Morrow (More Perfect Union), Valerio Ciriaci & Isaak Liptzin (Stonebreakers: American Monuments and Myth) -- whose work is featured in the festival, which is now in its second week, we explore the role of films and filmmakers as social activists.
And, on Labor History in 2:00: In Hershey, Pennsylvania, tagged “The sweetest place on earth” you’ll find the nation’s chocolate center, but it wasn’t always so sweet for workers who in 1937 tried to win union recognition.
Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Mike Nasella & Kahlia Chapman.
