But behind the scenes, undocumented immigrant workers face sub-legal wages, dangerous machinery, and abusive managers who will fire them for calling in sick. Mild-mannered sandwich maker Mahoma L&oacute;pez has never been interested in politics, but in January 2012, he convinces a small group of his co-workers to fight back. Risking deportation and the loss of their livelihood, the workers team up with a diverse crew of innovative young organizers and take the unusual step of forming their own independent union, launching themselves on a journey that will test the limits of their resolve. In one rollercoaster year, they must overcome a shocking betrayal and a two-month lockout. Lawyers will battle in back rooms, Occupy Wall Street protesters will take over the restaurant, and a picket line will divide the neighborhood. If they can win a contract, it will set a historic precedent for low-wage workers across the country. But whatever happens, Mahoma and his coworkers will never be exploited again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <em>[source: <a HREF=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2015\/07\/the-hand-that-feeds\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2015-Aug-31]<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dryden will screen The Hand That Feeds (Rachel Lears and Robin Blotnick, U.S. 2014, 88 min., DCP) as part of the Labor Film Series.
