Julia Reichert: “Documentarian of the Working Class”
Julia Reichert, dubbed “Documentarian of the Working Class” by The New York Times, died of cancer on December 1. 9 to 5 co-founder Karen Nussbaum interviewed Julia in 2020 after her film American Factory won an Oscar; Part 1 ran in our April 26, 2020 episode. This week, we’re re-running Part 2.
Reichert made documentary films for 50 years and was known as “a godmother of the American independent film movement.” Karen and Julia start out talking about the classic labor film Union Maids and the strong connection of that film – made nearly fifty years ago – to Reichert’s most recent film, 9to5: The Story of a Movement, co-directed with Steven Bognar, who also co-directed American Factory. The interview ends with the wonderful back story of Julia’s call at the 2020 Academy Awards for workers of the world to unite.
On this week’s Labor History in Two: Founding of the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor.
