This is the only documentary out there on the subject of the Writers Guild of America strike of 2007-2008. Pencils Down! is very well produced and directed, a quality work that's informative and worth your time if you are interested in Hollywood, behind-the-scenes, screen writing, labor issues, union issues, legal precedents and/or why this matters.
This is an important issue for everyone working in Hollywood or anyone who aspires to work in the film/TV business.
Pencils Down! should really be shown in every film school, law school labor relations class, and every union hall for any industry in the country. Most of us don't really understand what the fuss was all about. This documentary will inform and educate every viewer. The writer/director is a lawyer himself as well as a union member in Hollywood.
