DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival\n\nSorry 
 To Bother You – 2018 (112 min.) Directed by Boots Riley\n\nThe future is 
 here and it isn’t pretty, is part of the story in Boots Riley’s 
 “Sorry To Bother You”. Young workers in the tech economy face a dire 
 state, and this film shows how with ideology of capitalism, that you as an 
 individual, can make it even if you have to run over other workers.\n\nThe 
 dog eat dog dystopian world we live in, with its billionaires and the 
 thousands of homeless in the streets, is the backdrop of this film as it 
 shows life in Oakland.\n\nThe film also shows the lives and music of youth 
 in Oakland as they struggle to survive, and the business methods of 
 telemarketing. What is different about this film is that it shows that it 
 is only the struggle for unionization and collective power that can 
 transform the reality for working people, and this is part of the 
 ideological struggle against the owners and bosses.\nIn the struggle for 
 unionization of and for unity of all workers regardless of race, 
 nationality and sexual orientation is Riley, who has been publicly arguing 
 for a general strike for many years. He is now being joined by top union 
 leaders who are making similar calls against the government shutdown by 
 Trump and to defend the climate. His film has a relevance that makes it 
 even timelier and it connects with the daily lives of tens of millions of 
 young people who are struggling for a future.\n\nFollowing the film there 
 will be a discussion.\n\nThis film has been nominated for and won many 
 awards.
