F.I.S.T.
A story about a man, the woman he loved, and the men he fought for.
Cleveland docks, 1937. A lunch pail left open on a snow-edged loading bay. A warehouse worker shakes hands with men in overcoats, then signs a union sheet with a pen that won’t stop leaking ink. Less Capra than Cronenberg doing labor politics—wear gloves before shaking hands.
