Mar 7, 2025

This week’s episode is with Mars Verrone, producer of the documentary Union which is a fatastic film about the Amazon workers labour union, which was featured at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024. We discussed the conditions that the people in Amazon factories are working under and their fight for better working conditions, making this film and the importance of independent filmmaking, as well as the difficulties that arise when distributing an independent film that seeks to disrupt the status quo.
