Julia Reichert's death from cancer on December 1 at the age of 76 made headlines across the country. Most of them called her an “Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker” and that was certainly true: she was a four-time Academy Award-nominated director, for 1977's Union Maids, Seeing Red: Stories of American Communists in 1984, The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant in 2010 and American Factory, for which she won an Oscar in 2020. But we thought Julia would have really got a kick out of The New York Times, which called her “Documentarian of the Working Class.” Back in 2020, Julia talked with 9 to 5 co-founder Karen Nussbaum about how her working-class upbringing informed her work as much as her left politics; she offered advice for chronicling the pandemic, and told what it was like to give her acceptance speech at the Academy Awards that year. The interview, originally published in The American Prospect in April 2020, ran in two parts on the Labor History Today podcast; you can hear the first part here today on Labor Goes to the Movies, and the second part will run in this Sunday's Labor History Today podcast. Produced by Chris Garlock @dclabor @LaborHeritage1 @karenbnussbaum @TheProspect --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/labor-goes-to-the-movies/message

St. Catharines' residents have long suspected carcinogenic chemicals were in the mess of a former GM auto plant site. A 2020 report from the Ontario ministry of the environment confirmed it. Two years later, they're still waiting for it to be cleaned up. Alex is joined by Ashley Okwuosa, who is the author of the article published in The Narwhal, to discuss this.

In the 18th century, rabbits were considered pests and generally despised. In The Favourite, Queen Anne has 17 pet rabbits and two maids, each determined to one-up the other and become the queen's favorite (favourite). The Favourite is a dark comedy and a semi deconstruction of the classic period piece. It favors (favours) whip pans and fisheye lenses and doubles down on anachronisms like 21st century hip-hop dancing in the ballroom. By the end we were left with many questions and thoughts, and a real take you'll hear is that The Favourite is The Green Book of queer cinema. It's also a stealth double feature! On the last bit of the episode, Cam and Travis recommend the documentary American Factory (2019), in which a Chinese company moves into a shuttered GM Plant in Ohio, creating not just hundreds of new jobs, but a clash of cultures. We both thought the documentary did a great job of portraying the comedy that results when two wildly different cultures of work and labor are brought together under a bumbling management.

It's time for another Double Feature!  This time we broke up the films into two separate episodes - and this is part 2. On this episode, we’re watching Julia Reichart & Steve Bognar’s Oscar winning documentary - American Factory (2019). We discuss the history of documentary sequels, Julia Reichart's Oscar speech, the parallel story structure, hyper-exploitation of workers, automation myths vs realities, Lean Production methods and how much fun it really is to stay at the Y.M.C.A. Don't forget to check out Part 1 of this Double Feature - our episode on Julia Reichert & Steven Bognar's Oscar nominated The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant (2009).

It's time for another Double Feature!  This time we broke up the films into two separate episodes.   In Part 1, we dive into Julia Reichert & Steven Bognar's Oscar nominated The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant (2009).  This documentary takes a Direct Cinema approach to...well the closing of a GM plant near Dayton, Ohio and what that means to the employees and the local economy. We also discuss the state of documentary films over the last few years on the Art House circuit, the boom of true crime docs on streaming platforms and the entire catalogue of Citizens United Productions. Join us for Part 2, when we will be taking a deep dive into Julia Reichert & Steven Bognar's Oscar winning American Factory (2019).

Prof. Harvey talks about the work of photographer Latoya Ruby Frazier who documents the news of the Lordstown, Ohio plant closing and the impact it had on the workers, families and community at large. 

For this second episode of our current season we try something new with a look back at an important film from the past, Barbara Kopple’s 1976 Harlan County U.S.A., which won the 1977 Best Documentary Oscar. Why this trip down docu-memory lane? Two reasons: 1) our guest host this week is actually a guest historian, Betsy McLane, who not only knows just about everything there is to know about documentary history, but also knows quite a lot about Kopple; and 2) the coal miners of Harlan County, Kentucky, are once again on strike, gaining national and international attention over the summer. Plus ça change … And while we’re on the topic of great films about unions, we thought we’d also play a recent interview Chris did with directors Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert of American Factory, just recently released on Netflix, which tells the story of what happens when a Chinese glass company takes over an abandoned GM plant. It starts out so well, but then, well … you’ll just have to listen to our podcast and then watch the movie. Enjoy! Group Review Documentary: HARLAN COUNTY U.S.A.

GM Plant Closing, Plant Opening - Ignite Your Purpose #IYP There has been much talk of the GM plant closing in Canada and the USA, one of those plants is in an area where I grew up and I know a lot of people and family members whom have been affected by this. One of my friends even sent me an independent interview that was done with a bunch of the laid pf workers as they left work for the last time. I have to admit some of the stories were heart breaking. Now from an awareness stand point I watched how I reacted and felt after watching something like that; contracted, fearful, lost, hopeless, powerless are all words that came to mind. However; Check this, the same friend sent me an interview with Elon Musk an innovator, an entrepenure, a trend setter, a trail blazer. He said maybe just maybe we would want to use all those factories. Now now this may or may not happen. However again when I paid attention to how I felt is was amazing, I was open, happy, excited, alive, endless possibilities. It got me to thinking if we are always relying on someone or something else we can fell hopeless or not in control of our own destiny. So if in the end it can all be taken away from us, why would we NOT want to control it ourselves?

True Agile leaders are transparent about the health of their organizations with those they lead.  This Podcast examines whether the benefits of doing so outweigh the risks, and in particular takes a close look how a more Agile approach could have changed the outcome of the most recent GM Plant closings for the 14,000 blind-sided employees.

Are you looking to start a career and/or investing in real estate? If so, you'll really want to tune into this one. In East Meets West, we (Steve Zalunardo and Hussein Kabani) let you in on our conversation - most would probably call it a debate with the way we talk to one another. We share our very different stories of how we got started in real estate and go on explaining where we are heading. In episode 7 of East Meets West: Alright, so BIG news came up this past week regarding the closure of the GM plant in Oshawa. Approximately 2,500 people may be out of a job and some who own properties in the Durham Region are freaking out. In this episode we shine some light on the situation and walk you through our thought process on it. As always we talk about our week in real estate and how we've been finding the market, current dealings etc.. We also touch on external factors affecting real estate (ex. Oshawa GM Plant closure), and how materialistic things might make you feel nice, but won't make you truly happy and definitely won't make you rich. Of course, as always, we sprinkle in our personal experiences with each subject and have a laugh. Please don't forget to rate and subscribe to our podcast!

President Donald Trump spent plenty of time on the campaign trail accusing China of stealing American jobs by taking away factories and using unfair trade practices. But China is actually giving a lifeline in one hard-hit part of the Rust Belt. That makes things between the two nations more complicated than Trump might want to admit as he meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time. Michael Davis, economic development director for Moraine, Ohio, and Case Western Reserve University professor Susan Helper explain the story to Scott Lanman and guest host Andrew Mayeda.
