Two Chances to Catch Labor Films This Week

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
The DC Labor Filmfest will take up the US healthcare crisis and Asian Pacific immigrant workers this week with free screenings of “Grassroots Rising” and SiCKO.” Director Robert C. Winn will introduce Friday’s noontime screening of “Grassroots Rising,” which explores the lives of Asian immigrant workers and their fight for workplace justice. The screening – sponsored by the DC Labor Filmfest, the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, and the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum – coincides with Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. The labor film screenings continue Sunday at 7P with a free showing of “SiCKO” at the National Labor College. Click here for more info and other upcoming screenings.
