Brothers on the line

"Explores the extraordinary journey and legacy of the Reuther brothers -- prolilfic labor leaders and organizers whose crusade for social justice, at the helm of the United Auto Workers union, forever transformed the auto industry and labor in this country. The film follows the brothers as they rise from shop-floor organizers in 1930s Detroit to leaders in collective bargaining, civil rights activism, and international labor solidarity. Spanning over forty years, and featuring an impressive roster of interviewees including autoworkers and executives, historians, activists, professors and civil rights leaders, 'Brothers on the Line' delivers on in-depth examination of the legacy of the visionary labor organizers. A timely tale of one family's quest to compel industrial America to live up to its promise of a fair day's wages for a fair day of work, this is a dramatic document of successful social action"--Container.

"When I Came Home is a film about homeless veterans in America : from those who served in Vietnam to those returning fromthe current war in Iraq. The film reveals the challenges faced by returning combat veterans and the battle many must fight after they come home. In 2003 filmmaker Dan Lohaus set off across the country to document the lives of homeless veterans and listen to their stories.. When Lohaus found Iraq War veteran Herold Noel suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and living out of his car in Brooklyn, When I Came Home became a film about history repeating itself... When I Came Home exposes a failing system and our veterans' fight for survival after returning home from war."--Container.
