“I was a teacher with 6 years of experience but that wasn’t good enough to keep my job. I was laid off but 2 weeks later, my 6 years seniority got me excessed from Queens to Manhattan. I remember getting my last check after losing my job. I ran to the bank and cashed it immediately for fear the city could not pay up on the checks they wrote. Troubling times for all New Yorkers.”
I grew up in NYC in the 70s and would love to see your film. My classmates were very tuned into the issues, especially since we were facing budget cuts and larger classes. As we said, we're too young to vote but our parents can.
