Led by charismatic organizer and fired warehouse worker Chris Smalls, the effort drew national attention, as well as a powerful corporate backlash that pitted old-school union-busting against 21st-century digital solidarity-building. Filmmakers Brett Story (THE HOTTEST AUGUST; THE Pr*son IN TWELVE LANDSCAPES) and Stephen Maing (CRIME + PUNISHMENT) capture this dramatic labor struggle in real-time in UNION, a film that updates the classic techniques of direct cinema observational documentary for an era of Zoom meetings, social-media activism, and electronic countersurveillance. For this screening, co-director Brett Story will appear in person to introduce and discuss the film, including the decision to self-distribute a work that dared to challenge one of the most powerful companies in the contemporary media landscape.Story’s visit is co-sponsored by the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities, which will welcome the filmmaker for their Public Humanities Keynote on Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
