This 27-minute documentary breaks through the media walls that keep Iraqi and labor voices out of the debate about the war in the United States. Meeting Face to Face brings the voices of Iraqi working people directly into the conversation as we consider the war and continuing occupation and what the next steps should be.
Meeting Face to Face follows six senior Iraqi labor leaders as they tour 25 U.S. cities speaking to union audiences, university forums, and community gatherings. We also see American working people bringing new energy and commitment to the movement for peace, social justice, and a humane foreign policy.
Directed by - Jonathan Levin
Executive Producer - Michael Zweig
The Iraq-US Labor Solidarity Tour was sponsored and organized by U.S. Labor Against the War.
