Dave Chappelle: Live in Real Life
Director

9to5: The Story of a Movement
Producer
In the early 1970s, a group of secretaries in Boston decided that they had suffered in silence long enough. They started fighting back, creating a movement to force changes in their workplaces. This movement became national, and is a largely forgotten story of U.S. twentieth century history. It encapsulates a unique intersection of the women’s movement with the labor movement. The awareness these secretaries brought to bear on women’s work reverberates even today. Clericals were the low-wage workers of their era. America now confronts the growing reality of deep income inequality. The stories and strategies of these bold, creative women resonates in contemporary America.

American Factory
Producer
En 2014, un multimillonario de procedencia china reabrió una antigua fábrica de General Motors en la ciudad de Dayton (Ohio). Para miles de locales, la llegada de un manufacturador multinacional implicaba recuperar sus trabajos -y su dignidad- después de que la recesión hiciese estragos en su día a día. Al principio, el contraste cultural es gracioso, pero los problemas entre el planteamiento chino y el norteamericano no tardan en florecer. La escasas medidas de seguridad en el trabajo, unidas a un salario muy bajo, siembran dudas en la mentalidad de los trabajadores. Por si esto fuera poco, la empresa amenaza a sus empleados con automatizar más el proceso de producción como respuesta a sus quejas, lo que conlleva la aparición de numerosos problemas a diario en la fábrica.

El último coche: Adiós a la General Motors

El documental que sigue el cierre de la planta de Moraine Assembly, una fábrica de automóviles de General Motors en la localidad de Moraine, Ohio, en diciembre de 2008. Reichert y Bognar hablaron con varios cientos de los casi 3.000 trabajadores de la planta que iban a perder sus empleos como resultado del cierre. Al no tener acceso a filmar dentro de la propia planta, los realizadores suministraron a algunos de los trabajadores cámaras minúsculas para que las metieran y filmaran dentro de la fábrica, lo que les permitió tener imágenes de algunos de los últimos coches que se ensamblaron allí.

Women of Vision
Self
Documentary that highlights 18 women and covers a period of time from the 50's to the 90's.

They are black, white, Puerto Rican, Yugoslavian, Asian American, biracial. They are straight, gay and bisexual.
