‘Union’ Directors Release New Short Documenting December Strike At Amazon, As Their Award-Winning Feature Film Goes For Oscar Nomination
The December Amazon warehouse strike is documented in a new short from the directors of 'Union,' the Oscar-shortlisted feature film.
In their 10-minute short, directors Stephen Maing and Brett Story document in verité style the largest strike in the history of Amazon, the $2.3 trillion retail behemoth founded by Jeff Bezos. “If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed,” Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien said as the union announced last month’s walkout. “Almost one year since Union premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it won a Special Jury Prize for the Art of Change, Maing, Story, and producers Samantha Curley, Mars Verrone, and Martin DiCicco have released a follow-up short film with Field of Vision that reveals the workers’ most recent headline-making campaign,” notes a release.
