AMERICONNED is an award-winning feature film about income inequality in the U.S. and its tragic destabilizing effects on Americans. Deep inequality has led to radicalization at every level of society, and this powerful documentary depicts what happens when America hits its tipping point by looking back through its history at similar critical moments of instability. The film follows the creators of the new Labor movement and their battle to take back the path to the middle class. In this David vs. Goliath story, Chris Smalls leads a movement to unionize Amazon workers for the first time, after the corporation fired Smalls for speaking up for workers’ rights.
Please join director Sean Claffey and former U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh for a live Zoom discussion and Q&A on Thursday, February 8 at 7:30pm ET. Meeting credentials will be emailed to you when you buy a ticket to the virtual screening.
A portion of the proceeds of ticket sales will go toward the GoFundMe for film subjects Ana, Christina, Jenny, and Melissa.
