In 1970, a radioactive leak in the Spanish Nuclear Energy Board contaminated the Manzanares river and the surrounding areas of the city of Madrid. 50 years later, workers and neighbours in the vicinity of the centre are fighting against something more terrible and harmful than the radiation: the total indifference of Spanish society.

Have you ever considered the amount of work it takes to immigrate to Canada? Applying to immigrate is a form of labour: it requires time, effort, intention, skill and money. This film about immigration application work tells the stories of Martha, Winnie and Stella. As prospective immigrants to Canada, they are tagged as being “abnormal” (to use the state’s term) through the immigration medical examination and therefore face higher barriers and discrimination during the immigration process. Themes include the criminalization of HIV, and a critical look at the idea of “good immigrants.”

See Us Come Together&nbsp;is an amateur documentary following the members of the Optodev Workers Union, tracing their story of forming their union before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The documentary brings to focus what is essential to keep a country running in times of crisis. While the pandemic turned the spotlight on essential and frontline workers, what was essential to the workers of Optodev was their union. Subtitled in ENGLISH
