WORKING MAN is the first film by Robert Jury, and will be in the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this coming Saturday. The story about a factory closure and the attempt of the workers to keep it afloat comes out of the financial collapse of 2008. Its continued relevance today still surprises the director. KCSB reporter Harry Lawton discusses with Jury the topical themes of his movie.

This piece originally aired January 28th, 2019.
