On April 1, 2022 a group of ordinary workers made history when they did what everyone thought was impossible: they successfully won their election to become the very first unionised Amazon workplace in America. This cinematic documentary captures the ALU’s historic grassroots campaign to unionise thousands of their co-workers from day one of organising.

A core emotional arc arises out of the journey of these worker-turned organisers through a series of political battles, pivotal strategic events, and interpersonal tensions that test their commitments and their solidarity. Yet this rag-tag ensemble remains unswayed in their beliefs in collective action and the dignity and power of the working-class.

This is part of the Maysles Brothers observational documentary competition.
