Discover labor history at the movies
Updated On: Feb 08, 2010

The DC Labor FilmFest’s Online Labor Film Database is this week’s Labor Website of the Week at Union Communications Services, which says “This is an incredibly comprehensive listing of labor films.  If you're into movies that depict the lives of working people, you'll want to check this out.” The Labor Film Database provides brief descriptions over of nearly 1,500 labor-themed films, while the Labor Film Festival database lists labor film festivals around the world. Both are sponsored by the D.C. Labor FilmFest and co-sponsored by LabourStart. ~ Courtesy Metro Washington Council News
