Geneva Church to show January 22, 2016: "The Hand that Feeds"

This multiple prize-winning movie tells the story of undocumented immigrants who organized to fight sub-legal wages

This multiple prize-winning movie tells the story of undocumented immigrants, led by a mild-mannered sandwich-maker who organized to fight sub-legal wages, dangerous work conditions, and abusive managers. Risking deportation, they formed an independent union and embarked on a roller-coaster year. Cristobal Cavazos, of the Immigrant Solidarity Movement in DuPage will join us to share what is happening in our region.

The film is part of the free monthly fourth-Friday Film programs that are sponsored by the Social Justice Team of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva. The public is encouraged to register at uusg.org/friday-flicks/ to receive email notices of future programs.
