On today’s Union City Radio pod extra episode, we bring you the latest edition of a brand new podcast hosted by Chris Garlock, director of the DC Labor FilmFest, and Elise Bryant, Executive Director of the Labor Heritage Foundation.
If you like movies and are interested in the labor movement, Labor Goes to the Movies provides an entertaining chance to hang out with Chris and Elise as they kick back and talk about their favorite films and chat with guests about work and workers on the silver screen. Click here to subscribe or find LGTTM on your favorite podcast app.
On today’s episode, Elise and Chris discuss films from the DC Labor Filmfest Spring Screening Series with Andrea Arenas, Communications & Policy Coordinator for the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, and co-host of the El Desvio podcast (She’ll be doing the Q&A for IDENTIFYING FEATURES [SIN SEÑAS PARTICULARES] on Wednesday, March 31). They’re also joined by labor journalist Sarah Jaffe, author of Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted and Alone.

They talk about their first movies, about the things they’re missing from being stuck watching movies at home during the pandemic, and they even have some tips on how to watch scary movies.
Grab your popcorn, sit back and relax, and enjoy the show!
