with filmmaker John Gianvito
Inspired by Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States, John Gianvito's moving elegy for American radicals and lesser-known victims of what one tombstone calls "the lust of greed," Profit motive takes the viewer on a wordless tour of the United States via its cemeteries, minor monuments, and out-of-the-way historical markers, commemorating the people and places instrumental in the labor and civil rights movements. "In addition to forging a radical remapping of the American terrain, Gianvito's film provides its audience with the rare opportunity to pay our respects by proxy."
