It’s show time! This year our gathering will focus on the hope that transpires through the community as we showcase, Works for All: A Celebration of Cincinnati's Co-op Economy Through Film, which will take place on Friday, October 4th, 2024. The evening will feature a special debut screening of Works for All, a 30-minute documentary highlighting the vibrant co-op economy in Cincinnati.
Works for All portrays the inspiring stories of cooperatives within Co-op Cincy’s network, which are led by individuals often marginalized from the mainstream economy. The film delves into Co-op Cincy’s unique approach to training and providing ongoing support, showcasing how worker-ownership transforms lives and communities.
We are thrilled to share that the documentary was created by acclaimed filmmakers Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young, known for their earlier work Shift Change, which also focused on democratic workplaces.
Here’s what some notable figures have said about Works for All:
"Co-op Cincy has been plowing new ground, both literally and figuratively, sowing the seeds for a better future since 2011, and Works for All gives us first-person accounts about the power of worker-ownership from these workers themselves."
— Rob Witherell, United Steelworkers
“As a film about co-ops, this one is a must-see. It is unique and important in that it highlights both the role that unions have played in supporting co-op development, and it looks at the context of building co-ops in struggling communities, where many of those involved are people of color.”
— Emily Kawano, Wellspring Cooperative
