The race is on — and Baristas vs Billionaires has surged into the lead in this year’s Labor Oscars voting.

Each year, theD.C. Labor FilmFest and allied festivals spotlight films that bring workers’ stories to the screen — stories of organizing, courage, conflict, and collective power. This year’s contenders range from frontline struggles in today’s workplaces to powerful explorations of labor history and solidarity.

These films don’t just document the labor movement — they help build it.
