Baristas vs Billionaires Receives Carole Dorothy Joyce Grant
for Excellence in Documentary Storytelling
We’re excited to share some big news: Baristas vs Billionaires has received the Carole Dorothy Joyce Grant for Excellence in Documentary Storytelling.
This grant helps us bring to life the story of Starbucks baristas and their fight for union rights, workplace democracy, and corporate accountability. The grant recognizes films that lift up underrepresented voices and shed light on the urgent social and economic struggles shaping our world.
We’re honored to receive this recognition!
“The judges love your film. They think this is an excellent film with one of the best outlines and trailer they have seen recently. Your film can benefit many people and hopefully strengthen labor unions.
​
You are the recipient of the Carole Dorothy Joyce Excellence in Documentary Storytelling grant. Congratulations.”
​
— Carole Dean, President, From the Heart Productions
