The Detroit Newspaper Strike of 1995 tests the friendship and resolve of three friends as they attempt to hold the line.
The history: On July 13th, 1995, the 6 related unions of Detroit's two major newspapers went on strike. Most on the picket lines thought they'd be out of work for a few days.
It lasted for 583 days and ended in failure.

"[The newspapers]... will continue until
all the strikers either leave town or die."

Frank Vega, 1995
The media is not beholden to big business,
it is not sympathetic to big business,
it is not in bed with big business,
it IS big business."
- Media Analyst
Michael Parenti, 1995
