Millworker, a documentary film by Linda Booker, chronicles the creation and year-long production of the play MillworkerTM written by Ellen Bland and Drew Lasater and directed by Ellen Bland.

Here's what Dennis Rogers of the Raleigh News and Observer has to say about the film:

"Not everyone would have seen the potential in the work of local kids and musicians laboring to tell the story of their millworker ancestors. Linda Booker did. With her deft use of filmed interviews with cast members, scenes captured from performances across North Carolina and comments from audience members and former millworkers, she has preserved what could have been lost when the lights dimmed on closing night. Thanks to her, Millworker will have the permanence it deserves."
