conditions and better benefits.
The recent death in New Mexico of an IATSE cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has again raised the issue of health and safety and the dangerous long hours of film workers.

During the pandemic their conditions improved and many do not want to go back to the dangerous hours and lack of health and
safety. Next we hear from the San Franciscoo Mime Troupe which is alive and well despite the pandemic.
