SUMMARY:The Hand That Feeds
DESCRIPTION:At a popular bakery café\, residents of New York’s Upper East Side get bagels and coffee served with a smile 24 hours a day. 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 López has never been interested in politics\, but in January 2012\, he convinces a small group of his co-workers to fight back.\nRisking 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 roller-coaster 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.
