Tuesday, July 21: Gone Postal
7p EDT, Free via Zoom; [link removed] RSVP here
Introduced by director Jay Galione, who will also do a post-screening Q&A!
Jay Galione, son of a postal worker, investigates the dark corners of the U.S. Postal Service. Across the country, brave employees stand up to injustice on the job and fight to Save the People's Post Office. A moving indictment of the toxic culture and push to downsize, this eye-opening documentary allows viewers to hear from experts and advocates including Ralph Nader and Richard Wolff, and directly from the selfless and courageous people hidden behind the scenes, long suffering and ignored.
91 min; 2019, U.S., documentary, directed by Jay Galione
