We the People: The Market Basket Effect
2016 • Feature Film • ReleasedDocumentary
This documentary traces the events that led 25,000 employees and 2 million customers across New England to stand behind embattled CEO Arthur T. Demoulas and wrest control of a multibillion dollar grocery empire from an activist board of directors led by Artie T.'s cousin, Arthur S. Demoulas. On-the-ground footage chronicles this event, the most memorable labor protest in recent American history, and experts analyze a question at the heart of ongoing economic debate: can regular people really band together to alter the balance of power in major corporations, or is the case of Market Basket a fairytale victory?
