 ===========================================  "Thank You for Your Patience"  
 A film by Yahia Mahamdi, 2004 (53 minutes)  This film chronicles the 
 struggles of workers who were injured at work, who were denied benefits by 
 their employers and insurance companies, and who have spent years 
 negotiating the maze of the workers' compensation bureaucracy. The film 
 investigates the crisis of workers' comp through a range of testimonies, 
 primarily from injured workers, but also from lawyers and law students who 
 work pro bono to advise workers on their cases. The film is a tribute to 
 these workers, chronicling their physical and emotional pain as they 
 struggle to regain their lives and claim the rights that are due them.  
 ===========================================  "Bridge Builders: Celebrating 
 the Al Zampa Bridge"  A film by the California Building Trades and Debra 
 Chapman, 2004 (9 minutes)  This short documentary covers the history of the 
 opening of the Al Zampa Bridge, which is the first major bridge in the 
 world named after a bridge builder.  
 ===========================================  "Three-Minute Videos"  A film 
 by the Japan LaborFesta (30 minutes)  This collection of three-minute 
 videos gives a slice of the lives of Japanese working people. The Japan 
 LaborFesta has brought together films about the lives of workers and their 
 families as they fight against increasing exploitation and downsizing.  
 ===========================================  "Eyes on the Fries: Young 
 Workers in the Service Economy"  A film by Casey Peek and Jeremy Blasi, 
 2004 (21 minutes)  Low wages, erratic schedules, no health care, 
 work-school conflicts -- this film looks beyond the stereotypes of carefree 
 and undeserving youth to uncover a reality that millions of young working 
 people know all too well. No matter how hard you work and how well you do 
 in school, it can be difficult to stay afloat when you're coming of age in 
 a "McJob" economy. But there are ways to improve things, and young people 
 are taking the lead.  ===========================================  
 LaborFest 2004 is a month of film, music, poetry, theater, talks, tours, 
 and other events celebrating labor, our history and future. Held every July 
 since 1994, LaborFest commemorates San Francisco's 1934 General Strike. For
