Money Moves: 超时工作, A conversation

Thursday, May 13, 7:30-9:00PM

ASL Interpretation and Mandarin translation is available.

Workers are organizing to win better conditions for themselves and their colleagues, but this can only happen if workers feel they have community support. Given the upsurge in anti-Asian racism and the importance of grocery workers in the context of COVID-19, supporting this work is increasingly important.  Edward Hon-Sing Wong, the Chair of the Chinese Canadian National Council - Toronto,  describes Money Moves:超时工作 as one such show of support; solidarity expressed through a collaborative art performance. Taking up space in grocery stores without permission from the owners, the making of Money Moves:超时工作 was perhaps equally subversive.

Join the makers of the film as well as members of the Chinese Canadian National Council to discuss the filmmaking process and further ways we can support new migrant grocery store workers. 

Money Moves:超时工作 is premiering at Mayworks Festival on Saturday, May 1st and will be available for viewing until Monday, May 31st.
