About Under The Bus
Anthony has driven a school bus in Staten Island, New York for twenty-four years. His plans to retire suddenly grind to a halt when the Union (ATU 1181) goes on strike in response to a contract dispute with the City of New York. The film follows Anthony and his fellow drivers to the picket line, where they find themselves battling harsh winter weather, a media blackout, Union politics and a Mayor who refuses to negotiate.
When the City puts Anthony and the driver's jobs out to bid, a tense atmosphere erupts as non-union 'replacement drivers' start crossing the picket lines. As the strike drags on, many workers fear they will have to leave their Unionized jobs in order to support their families.
The AoBFF is the only independent, international film festival built entirely around Brooklyn, a local independent scene with global influence. AoBFF focuses on Brooklyn‐born, Brooklyn-based and Brooklyn-centric films and filmmakers and they screen work from all over the world whose creators live, work in, or are inspired by Brooklyn's indie film scene.
