At under an hour long, the film doesn&#8217;t overstay its welcome, instead remaining an engaging archive of reflections from key players-on-the-ground interspersed with archival footage. Because all three interviewees are women &#8212; one black, two white &#8212; we get to hear about what the labor movement was like for (at least a few) women, and some of the ways in which racial tensions were at least temporarily overcome. This documentary remains worth a one-time look, though it&#8217;s not must-see viewing for all film fanatics. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Notable Performances, Qualities, and Moments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A powerful set of oral history remembrances<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Union-Maids-Policeman.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Union-Maids-Policeman.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-89131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Union-Maids-Policeman.png 592w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Union-Maids-Policeman-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Union-Maids-Policeman-128x97.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Union-Maids-Policeman-357x270.png 357w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, but it&#8217;s strongly recommended. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0075372\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I learned that you can&#8217;t go anyplace unless you go together.&#8221; Synopsis: Three women active in the American labor movement reflect back on their lives and the legacy of their activism.
