Movie Summary  

Her Job takes a sensitive look at how work and autonomy can change a person’s outlook.

A Film by Nikos Labot

Panayiota gets for the first time a job as a cleaner in an attempt to support her family. Even though in her work environment she faces a ruthless system of exploitation, she spends the happiest period of her life so far. Unfortunately, this is not to last for long as the first layoffs are to arrive soon.

Palikari deals with labor relations in early 20th century America, as told through the story

Palikari - DVD cover image (B&W)

of Greek migrant and trade union activist Louis Tikas – aka Ilias Spantidakis (an immigrant from Crete). Director Nikos Ventouras and producer Lamprini Thoma chart the story of the great 1913-1914 coalminers’ strike and Louis Tikas’s murder, as it survives in oral and family traditions, as well as in official history. They interview historians and artists, some of them direct descendants of those striking miners. Labor movement emblem Mother Jones and industrialist John D. Rockefeller, Jr. also make cameo appearances in this palimpsest of memory, struggle and deliverance. Tikas’s story has relevance for our time, in view of what is happening with the rights of workers and immigrants around the world.
