DC Labor Film Fest
The fourth annual D.C. Labor Film Fest features films about workers and workers' issues. Films include "Take Out," about an undocumented Chinese immigrant; "Human Error," about workers who leave their families behind to take jobs in a strange factory; and "Mondays in the Sun," about laid-off shipyard workers in northern Spain. To mark the 15th anniversary of its release, Michael Moore's "Roger and Me" will kick off the Film Fest and the classic Marlo Brando film "Burn" screens on Sept. 12. The film fest is sponsored by the Metropolitan Washington Council, the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute and the American Film Institute. The fest runs from Friday, Sept. 10 to Monday Sept. 13, at the American Film Institute (Silver Theatre; 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring).

DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
