"What are we getting for a day's work?" The 54-minute film will be followed by a panel discussion on workers' rights, connecting the film to local issues and action. Audience members will have an opportunity to engage with community leaders, organizers, CCSF faculty, and the film's executive producer.
About the film: What happened to Day Davis? 90 minutes before he was killed on his first day of work as a temporary employee, Day texted a picture of himself to his girlfriend, excited for their future. Day's sister now searches for answers as an investigation reveals a hidden epidemic of injury and death on the job threatening millions of American workers. https://www.TempFilm.com
