Submitted by Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva

The 2014 documentary "The Hand that Feeds" will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 22, at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva, 110 S. Second St.

This prizewinning film tells the story of undocumented immigrants, led by a mild-mannered sandwich-maker who organized to fight sub-legal wages, dangerous work conditions, and abusive managers.

Risking deportation, they formed an independent union and embarked on a roller-coaster year.

Cristobal Cavazos of the Immigrant Solidarity Movement in DuPage will join to share what is happening in the region.

The film is part of the free monthly fourth-Friday Film programs that are sponsored by the Social Justice Team of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva. The public is encouraged to register at uusg.org/friday-flicks/ to receive email notices of future programs.
