X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>How do feature films shape our thinking ab
 out workers\, strikes\, and unions? We often recognize overt bias in the p
 ress and from politicians\, but how about subtler messages that come throu
 gh fiction?</p>\n<p>The goal is to sharpen awareness of how workers show u
 p in films and to seek out movies with full and fair representation of wor
 kers and their (our!) struggles.</p>\n<p>About the presenter:</p>\n<p><img
