Document The Hand That Feeds

The Hand That Feeds
Dir. Robin Blotnick, USA 2013, 88m, European Premiere

Shy sandwich-maker Mahoma Lopez sets out to end abusive conditions at popular New York restaurant chain ‘Hot and Crusty’. The epic power struggle that ensues turns a single city block into a battlefield in America’s new wage wars. Blotnick captures the uncompromising enthusiasm and tenacity of workers fighting for respect as much as for better terms. A modern David and Goliath tale, The Hand That Feeds is an entertaining and inspiring look at contemporary workers rights in the developed world.

Technology permitting, followed by Skype interview with director Robin Blotnick.
