NCPA Film Screening: The Hand That Feeds

Arcata Theatre Lounge

Film Screening and Silent Auction to benefit North Coast People’s Alliance. Admission at the door - $8.00 Food/drinks available for purchase. Doors at 6:00 Film begins at 6:30 To be followed by a discussion about Humboldt County’s Sanctuary initiative - Measure K - Keep Families Together! “At a popular bakery café, residents of New York’s Upper East Side get bagels and coffee served with a smile 24 hours a day. But behind the scenes, undocumented immigrant workers face sub-legal wages, dangerous machinery, and abusive managers who will fire them for calling in sick. Mild-mannered sandwich maker Mahoma López has never been interested in politics, but in January 2012, he convinces a small group of his co-workers to fight back. Risking deportation and the loss of their livelihood, the workers team up with a diverse crew of innovative young organizers and take the unusual step of forming their own independent union, launching themselves on a journey that will test the limits of their resolve. In one roller-coaster year, they must overcome a shocking betrayal and a two-month lockout. Lawyers will battle in court, Occupy Wall Street protesters will take over the restaurant, and a picket line will divide the neighborhood. If they can win a contract, it will set a historic precedent for low-wage workers across the country. But whatever happens, Mahoma and his coworkers will never be exploited again.” —Rachel Lears and Robin Blotnick
