No matter how hot it was (sometimes over 120 degrees) these workers were always out there, so I began to chat with them and learned of their long and arduous struggle with the sole owner of the casino hotel, Maggie Elardi. A hardcore old-style casino owner, I was amazed at the standoff between her and her loyal workers (some of whom had worked there over twenty years).<\/p>\n<p>The issues were basic: she had tried to take away their pension and healthcare, and they decided to make a stand, and their union backed them up. No one knew how long it would take.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-150 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/globalgirlmediaproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/oneDayPageImage-213x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalgirlmediaproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/oneDayPageImage-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/globalgirlmediaproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/oneDayPageImage-104x146.jpg 104w, https:\/\/globalgirlmediaproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/oneDayPageImage-35x50.jpg 35w, https:\/\/globalgirlmediaproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/oneDayPageImage-53x75.jpg 53w, https:\/\/globalgirlmediaproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/oneDayPageImage.jpg 364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Because I had already been filming at the Culinary Union for my previous film, Stripped and Teased, I was no stranger to the complexities and ironies of a labor struggle against a tiny gaming company in the midst of a Las Vegas boom. As the MGM, Bellagio and other mega-resorts opened, the strikers were often asked why they did not go get other jobs\u2014they refused, saying this strike was for all the workers in Vegas, and it became clear that this strike was a significant lynchpin for all the contracts on the Strip. It was an amazing journey these workers embarked on, and I will never forget filming the third, fourth and fifth anniversary parties of the strike\u2026how resolved and dedicated this group of ordinary workers were\u2014they had become international heroes, with repeat tourists stopping by the picket line from as far away as Finland, to wish them well. The night we all marched in together is the opening scene of the film, and perhaps the most moving of anything I have ever filmed. It gave me hope as a filmmaker and a person, witnessing what a handful of people can do to affect monumental change in society.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>AWARDS &amp; REVIEWS<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cNo ordinary image of sin city, this film has extraordinary scenes, such as the 20,000 strong labor march that closed down the Strip\u2026in my opinion as an historian who has written about Las Vegas and the West, this was the defining labor struggle of the last several decades, largely ignored by the media.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong><em>-Prof. Mike Davis, History Dept., UC Irvine, author, City of Quartz<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery rarely has a film captured so well the highs and lows of an extended strike.
