The Reel Work Labor Film Festival, now in its twentieth year, is online in 2021 like so many other events, but that gives viewers expanded opportunities to see a wide array of films on Community TV and streaming online.

In this interview, I speak with Holly Tuckett and Maddy Purves, who created the film Anchorpoint, about women firefighters and the challenges they face in a mostly-male profession. Then we explore the history of the labor movement with Adrian Wright, creator of Haymarket, a film that follows the story of the hangings of anarchists and the early labor movement in the U.S.
