Morristown, a film by Anne Lewis, is a working class response to globalization. Through a critical examination of changes taking place in one small community in the southeastern U.S., this documentary opens up issues of plant closings, capital flight, low-road development strategies, and the new Latino immigration to places like Morristown.    The film provides no easy answers, but it culminates in a successful union organizing drive among Latino immigrant poultry workers. Its basic message is that solidarity among working people across borders of race and nation is a real possibility worth imagining.
