The buddhist forklift driver

Union City Radio pod extra: Elise and Chris discuss the film My Darling Supermarket with retired SEIU staffer (and now buddhist monk) Peter Pocock and Empathy Media Labs’ Evan Matthew Papp. A charming and witty portrait of a grocery store in São Paulo, My Darling Supermarket follows the day-to-day lives of its employees — a panoply of workers steeped in the confining space of the store.
