Estamos Aqui Trailer

The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) initiated a one-day strike at all University of California campuses in April of 2005. The impact of the strike at the UC Santa Cruz campus was especially strong due to the support the union received from the student body. Together students and workers physically shut down the campus for hours as thousands blocked the two entrances. Blending interviews with custodians and dining hall workers and on-the-ground footage at the picket line, Estamos Aquí gives an inside look at the historic events of April 14, 2005 and the militancy of UCSC students and workers that made the strike successful. Its first wide-scale debut was in April 2006 at the Reel Work Labor Film Festival.
