Pencils Down! The 100 Days of the Writers Guild Strike (2014)
Wonderful and engaging

How many documentaries can say they include Popeye, Ronald Reagan,and Jason Alexander? This documentary spans the scope of not only the Writers' Strike, but the history of performers, writers and other artists unionizing, and why it's important. I don't know how the director got such high powered names to talk candidly, but it is refreshing to hear people being real and passionate, instead of canned and media trained. Super engaging and fun to watch, Justine Bateman also an intelligent and thoughtful highlight.Especially in the current political climate,it is a reminder to believe in the power of organizing to effect change at the highest levels, and how important it is to stay the course.
