Bob M So relevant to today! Executive produced by two time Oscar winner Barbera Kopple, camera's are embedded with the Teamster leaders, led by the next generation Hoffa, and the strikers on the front line of this fight for employee's rights. The rollercoaster ride of challenges and emotions, intertwined with expert insight to the history of unionized labor is powerful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
