DESCRIPTION:LaborFest and the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education 
 Present:\n\nMorristown: A film about the working class response to 
 globalization, from Tennessee to Mexico.\n\nSaturday, July 7, 7 PM\nRoxie 
 Theatre, 3117 16th Street (near Mission Street)., San Francisco\n$5 
 admission\n\nFilmed in the mountains of east Tennessee, interior Mexico, 
 and Ciudad Juarez, Morristown is a one-hour documentary about the impact of 
 corporate globalization, free trade and immigration policy on working 
 people’s lives.  In factories, fields, union halls, Mexican stores, city 
 parks and employment agencies, working families speak intimately about 
 their lives, work, disappointments and dreams. The documentary travels to 
 the U.S.-Mexico border to create a deeper understanding of factory flight 
 out of Morristown, Tennessee, and to interior Mexico to look at the forces 
 that cause immigration. It also documents poultry workers’ courageous 
 efforts to organize to address their problems, and ends with a stunning 
 union victory at a large processing plant in Morristown. (Click here for a 
 YouTube clip of the documentary:

 Research and Education. Cheryl collaborated on the making of the Morristown 
 film and worked with many of the communities featured in the film when she 
 was an organizer at the Tennessee Industrial Renewal Network.\n\nMorristown

 Angeles. For details on these films, see
