Amazon and Walmart are the behemoths of the 21st Century, much like Big Steel and Big Auto were at the beginning of the 20th Century. The demands that working people are making on these companies will shape the working person’s future for decades to come. This project engages the individuals and organizations behind the current unionization movement in creation of an original theatrical work that speaks to this urgent moment in America.
