Film and Discussion: The Hand That Feeds

Labor Studies Working Group presents a screening of the award-winning documentary film The Hand That Feeds followed by a discussion with the film's director, Rachel Lears.
 

About the Film: Shy sandwich-maker, Mahoma Lopez, unites his undocumented immigrant coworkers to fight abusive conditions at a popular New York restaurant chain. The epic power struggle that ensues turns a single city block into a battlefield in America’s new wage wars.  

This event is co-sponsored by The Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC) and the Department of Anthropology, Department of Sociology, and the Department of Geography at the Maxwell School and the Food Studies Program at the Falk College of Syracuse University.
