Beyond The Bottom Line: American Worker Cooperatives from Headlamp Pictures on Vimeo.
BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE is a 30 minute documentary about a little known twist on the American Dream – businesses in which workers own the stock, reap the profits and decide for themselves how the company runs.It is the story of worker-entrepreneurs in dozens of communities and nearly every kind of business… from manufacturing to health care to high tech. Some are tiny firms, while others employ hundreds and record millions of dollars in yearly revenues.
By giving the viewers a glimpse into the inner workings of these successful companies, BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE shows American workers, entrepreneurs and business owners that viable, community-oriented businesses are within their grasp.
