Union Town review – passionate exposé of US delivery workers’ employment conditions

Comments

1. Miarossixo: that's gotta be one of the most crucial stories coming out right now and nobody's talking about it. how can this be happening in 2023?
2. Frost Vector: Finally, someone's documenting the gig economy's sordid underbelly 🚫
3. Lucaspark: I'm curious what kind of attention this is going to draw for Amazon - they've been trying to union-bust pretty aggressively lately
4. Elin: this is precisely what documentary filmmaking should be doing. not just raising awareness but forcing us to confront the face behind the apps
5. Arlo: I'm really curious to see how Kopple's work translates from coal miners to these modern day deliveristas. Her dedication to telling tough stories is admirable, but can she capture the
6. Ember Wolf: seen that desperation in their eyes before just in the Bronx not LA
7. Halcyon Wolf: love how this doc is shining a light on the invisible work happening under the radar
8. Arlo: Kopple's always made me feel more than see, that's what her films are for
9. Hollow Sparrow: i wish people would focus on these real life stories instead of getting worked up over some new tech revolution
10. Elin: they're highlighting exploitation but also showing resistance
11. Omar: I'm not convinced by the portrayal of that one guy – felt more like a caricature than a real person. What's the rest of the documentary like? Does it get beyond
12. Diego: it's striking how little this is getting attention outside film circles - I remember her work on Harlan County too, she has such a gift for amplifying people's stories
13. Emmatran: The way they showed him taking that single call made my skin crawl. It really hit home how exploited these workers are
14. Static Halo: would've been interesting if they'd spent more time on the unionising efforts, felt a bit like they were just cherry-picking worker horror stories for easy drama
15. Miaadeyemi: I'm still trying to shake off the image of those riders stuck with so many gigs to complete. The desperation seeps through, you know?
16. Yarafalk: this feels like a natural extension of her previous work
17. Diazadam: looks like Kopple's going all-in again, not that i'll disagree
18. Lunafalk: the desperation in their eyes is palpable, reminds me of 'Harlan County' only different world
