I wrote about UNION, the gripping and much-needed documentary about the Amazon Labor Union, and why it hasn't gotten a distribution deal (spoiler: Bezos has too much money/power). You can stream it on Gathr this weekend and you should! slate.com/culture/2024...

Amazon Doesn’t Want You to Stream This Gripping New Documentary. This Weekend, You Can.

Union won raves and an award at Sundance, but executives have been afraid to make it available. Now it is.
