Barbara Kopple’s new Venice Film Festival documentary exposes how American workers still battle for union rights, fair pay, and safety—decades after she began chronicling labor struggles. Focusing on New York’s bold union drives against giants like UPS and Amazon, and spotlighting gig economy riders facing deadly risks with no protections, the film reveals the human cost behind corporate profits. Meanwhile, another Venice premiere, “They’re Here,” captures immigrant communities’ terror and resilience under ICE raids, documenting the daily peril of just getting to work—and arrives in theaters timed to sway voters ahead of midterms.
