The contrived challenges for contestants on so-called "reality television" are nothing like the real-life struggles millions of American workers face every week to feed and house their families and make ends meet.
The documentary film Waging a Living follows the lives of four low-wage workers, including a union nurse and a union security guard, as they struggle to live paycheck to paycheck.
The documentary screens Aug. 19 - 25 at the University of Minnesota's Bell Auditorium, 17th Ave and University Ave S.E. in Minneapolis. Showtimes are 7:15 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. daily with an additional screening at 5 p.m. Sunday (there are no shows on Saturday, Aug. 20).
The documentary is sponsored by Minnesota Film Arts. For more information on the festival or on local screenings, go to www.mnfilmarts.org
