Veteran experimental filmmaker Mary Filippo tackles issues of work, class and gender roles in this visually captivating and provocative autobiographical piece. At the core of this engaging autobiographical film is an interview with Filippo's mother, as she recounts incidents of exploitation and gender discrimination she experienced working in jewelry factories in the 1940's and 50's. The filmmaker contrasts her mother's quiet acquiescence with her own attitudes about the social injustices of her culture through a striking montage of images and audio clips - moving the viewer to consider connections between consumerism and global labor practices, motherhood, money and happiness. While her mother's attitude toward the social injustices she endured is one of resignation, Filippo's is one of assumed but uncollected responsibility.
