HOME FROM WORK - Alex Fleming, Michael Beuttler

In tourist towns across the United States, where housing is scarce, a growing number of workers have few options but to live in employer-provided housing. HOME FROM WORK follows two workers caught in this precarious limbo where losing a job could mean losing their home, and an employer grappling with his responsibility to his employees. As the film uncovers the legal gray areas of employee housing, it draws parallels to the company towns of the past, where employers maintained unchecked control over workers' lives. HOME FROM WORK exposes the emotional and economic toll of a system without safety nets while raising urgent questions about the future of labor rights in the face of increasing economic inequality.
