This package includes both cooperative workplace films, "Interwoven" and "Without Bosses: Democracy At Work". You may watch in any order. NOTE: When packaged together, viewership in Europe is excluded. This region can still view "Interwoven" by selecting that film listing by itself.

For generations, the small town of Morganton, North Carolina, was once at the heart of the state’s textile manufacturing industry, but globalization took its toll in the 1990s and sent the town reeling. Against this backdrop of economic hardship, residents are reinventing the town’s storied textile legacy while embracing modern sustainable practices and promoting worker ownership.

Interwoven

In the wake of the textile industry's decline, a community in North Carolina fights to reclaim its economic future through innovative worker-owned cooperatives and sustainable practices.

A job without bosses? In this economy?! That´s unthinkable for many. But right at the heart of our market system, based on profit maximization and hierarchy, some companies are taking this seemingly unimaginable path: collective businesses. WITHOUT BOSSES follows people in collectives and cooperatives who are proving it: A future of work is possible! The documentary shows people who take their working lives into their own hands - not irradiated utopians, but practitioners who are making a different form of economy a reality. In their everyday lives, solidarity and collective economic activity are an important matter of course. Instead of complaining, 'Nobody wants to work anymore', the film WITHOUT BOSSES shows that collective enterprises can be the key to the future of our work and economy. An alternative for all workplaces that is more than just a daring experiment.
