American labor history is the subject of Scott Noble's second Plutocracy film, a follow-up to his earlier study of class power in the United States. The film traces how workers across different trades, races, and backgrounds set aside their differences to build unions and organize collective action, using archival photographs, period footage, and interviews with labor historians to reconstruct the movements involved. It moves through strikes, organizing drives, and confrontations between labor and capital, treating solidarity itself as the hinge on which those struggles turned: workers who stayed divided lost, workers who united sometimes won. The narration stays focused on documented events and figures from the labor movement rather than a single case study, giving the film the feel of a survey rather than a narrow biography. As with the first Plutocracy film, the emphasis falls on economic power and who holds it, using the history of worker organizing to make that argument concrete.
