We have launched a new project! Its aim is to support the distribution of documentary films and also to care for the Ji.hlava audience. Everyone who buys an accreditation will get exclusive online access to one film per month. All films will be subtitled in Czech.
Film of the month: Union
Amazon's Staten Island warehouse became the multinational company's first US location with its own union in 2022. The film is an observational chronicle of the years-long struggle to establish one. We watch as male and female employees face constant surveillance, threats and tens of millions of dollars worth of disparagement. They themselves have neither money nor experience. But through solidarity and determination, their position grows stronger, and they slowly becomed an equal opponent to the corporate giant. The individual steps necessary to form and sustain a union are captured in a way that makes Union both a suspenseful procedural thriller and a call to collective action.
The movie will be available after you log in with your account with a valid accreditation. You can buy an accreditation here.
