Esquire- BLUE COLLAR (1978) w Secret Base Cinema

Class struggle, union corruption, the exploitation of the working class...SECRET BASE CINEMA revisits the 1978 Richard Pryor and Harvey Keitel film BLUE COLLAR for their August pick at the ESQUIRE Theatre on Tuesday, August 19th!

About the film: When Detroit autoworkers Zeke Brown (Richard Pryor), Jerry Bartowski (Harvey Keitel) and Smokey James (Yaphet Kotto) decide to rob their own union, they are initially disappointed by the relatively small haul. However, upon closer inspection, the three amateur thieves discover that they have made off with something potentially much more valuable than money: the union's ledger, filled with bogus figures and links to organized crime. Should they blackmail the union or go to the authorities?
