Two Films on Employee Ownership

The Foundation for Enterprise Development's film We the Owners: Employees Expanding the American Dream will be shown in trailer form at the 2012 NCEO/Beyster Employee Ownership Conference. The film focuses on stories of employees and founders from three companies with distinct forms of broad-based employee ownership, including their approaches and their challenges. The film's Web site is under development. A trailer for another film, focusing on the impact of the Mondragon Cooperative Corporation on worker cooperatives in the United States, is also under development. A preview of that film, Shift Change: Putting Democracy to Work, is available at www.shiftchange.org.
