Episode 601 - Union and Working Class Movies & Classism amongst Diasporic Filipinos

On the Season Six premiere of the Halo Halo Podcast, Jezzie and Sigi reunite after a couple of months and recap a stellar adventure to Seafood City and Jolibee and discuss the Hollywood Labour Movement with the recent developments in the WGA Strike as of their October 2nd recording of this ep. Their discussion focuses on movies of the working class including Newsies, Norma Rae and one of Jezzie's favourites--Pride which tells the story of how a small lesbian and gay activist group supports the struggling miners of a small Welsh town in the 1980s. As the movie involves both groups discovering common humanities, Jezzie ties in finding common humanity being a Filipino in the diaspora. He urges us to find power in seeing our common culture and shared traditions rather than judging.
