The ‘David and Goliath’ story of a fired Amazon worker daring to take on the multi-national, fighting for workers’ rights.

Union is a compelling and timely documentary that takes viewers inside the bold attempt to unionize Amazon, one of the world’s most powerful corporations. Directed by Stephen Maing and Brett Story, the film follows Chris, a former Amazon worker who, after being unjustly fired, decides to fight back. Gathering a group of fellow ex- and current employees who’ve endured similar treatment or are fed up with the gruelling conditions, Chris leads the charge to create a union despite Amazon’s relentless efforts to stop them.

Winner of the Sundance U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Art of Change, Union offers an eye-opening look at the determination and courage required to challenge a corporate giant. Through hidden cameras and candid interviews, the film reveals the harsh realities inside Amazon and the uphill battle faced by those seeking change. Yet, the ultimate success of the union hinges on its ability to remain strong and not implode from within, a challenge as daunting as the corporate fight itself.
