FINALLY GOT THE NEWS is a documentary that details the work of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers in Detroit's auto factories. The film uses interviews with movement members, footage from the plants, and scenes of organizing activities to show their efforts to create a black labor organization that would address workers' issues like speeding up assembly lines and low wages for both black and white employees. Starting with a historical overview of the working class, FINALLY GOT THE NEWS highlights the importance of black workers in the American economy. It also examines the educational system's impact on white and black youth, the role of African American women in the workforce, and the relationships between white and black workers.
