A restrained story-telling of the 2009 CUPE strike in Windsor, ON. Excellent shots of Windsor backed by a moody soundtrack, this film tells the story of a strike from the workers’ point of view. The economy is being used as a tool to claw back workers’ rights. When workers go on strike, it becomes clear that it is a sign of the times. The message is “Hold the Line”
