Taylor Chain I: A Story in a Union Local
Taylor Chain I tells the gritty realities of a seven-week strike at a small Indiana chain factory during 1973-74. Volatile union meetings and tension-filled interactions on the picket line provide an inside view of the tensions and conflicts inherent to labor negotiations. Due to a lack of funds and a fire at Kartemquin which necessitated a re-edit of the film, the film was not released until 1980. Filming then began a year later on Taylor Chain II: A Story of Collective Bargaining.

A Disappointing Continuation
In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
