THIS SATURDAY (11/10)
at the Brattle Theatre in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA
at 5 p.m. (Q&A with the directors and local activists, 6 p.m.)
Secrets of Silicon Valley
(2001) dir Alan Snitow and Deborah Kaufman
"A hit." - The New York Times
A documentary look at the hidden downside of the "new economy" in
California's Silicon Valley-a very "old economy"-style exploitation of
tens of thousands of low-paid temp manufacturing workers-and also a
funny and moving meditation on America's love affair with technology.
Told without narration, the film chronicles a tumultuous year in the
lives of two young activists (of South Asian and Latino extraction
respectively) grappling with the problems of corporate globalization on
their own doorstep.
A question and answer session with the directors and local activists
will follow the film. Tickets $5 at the door.
This special screening is co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Campaign on
Contingent Work and the National Alliance for Fair Employment. Call
617-338-9966 for more information.
