Unemployed Workers on Camera
Have you seen Up in the Air? In that movie, George Clooney plays a guy who fires people for a living. (This is a real job. I’ve blogged about it, though I somehow can’t find the post.)
One of the amazing things about the movie, which has been commented on by a number of reviewers, is that in many scenes, the people he’s firing are played by actual unemployed people, talking about their experiences.
And all I could think about as I watched those scenes was our video for the Unemployment Lifeline:
Because the people in that movie could’ve been the people in this video. And it really drives home how many people are out there who you could put on camera and they’d have the same kind of stories that hit you in the gut in the same way.
