Review of Working in a Paper Mill
This is a beautifully produced piece giving a brief glimpse at the remarkable change in the American workplace. Using "Mother Warren's" mill as an example, this shows how "cradle-to-grave" blue collar jobs have become expendable ina globalized economy. Would be a nice piece to touch off a larger conversation on issues of unionization, corporatization, globalization, or the history of the workplace. This producer has also made a longer documentary, from which this is excerpted, and it's really well done, too.
