Working at the intersections of prison abolition, labor movements, geography, and filmmaking, Brett Story joins us for a special evening organized by Ohio State student group Cinéseries. Celebrated by Guernica for how she combines “elegant cinematography and shrewd political analysis,” Story discusses her latest untitled documentary, which is currently in postproduction. Codirected by Stephen Maing of Crime + Punishment (2018) and The Surrender (2015), the film offers an intimate portrait of the group of current and former Amazon workers taking on one of the world’s largest and most powerful companies in their fight to unionize.

In this lecture, Story covers the art of political filmmaking and thinks through issues of labor, scale, supply-chain capitalism, and multi-racial organizing, along with the role of this project within her larger body of work. Stick around after Story’s presentation for an intimate discussion facilitated by Cinéseries in the café, accompanied by light refreshments. (program approx. 75 mins.)
