Millions of Us

Produced by American Labor Films, Inc., Millions of Us is a significant work from the era that addresses the harsh realities faced by millions during the economic downturn. The narrative centers on a single 'forgotten man' who grapples with hunger and the desperation of joblessness while contemplating becoming a scab. In his journey, he encounters a union man who helps him understand the importance of unity among workers.

The film serves as an early example of labor activism in cinema, connecting personal struggles with broader social movements. Its experimental approach foreshadows later influential films from Frontier Films, emphasizing the role of collective action in overcoming adversity. For collectors interested in social commentary and historical context, Millions of Us represents a unique piece of American film history from the 1930s, illustrating the impact of the Great Depression on society and labor movements.
