VIDEO: Production of US drama series ‘Evil’ stopped after Uganda’s Joseph Opio leads strike

“When the video of our fun-size, but defiant picket went viral, some hailed us as ‘heroes’ online. But despite picketing from 5:00pm until 1:00am, we didn’t deserve that label. The real heroes that night were the Teamsters and IATSE crew who refused to cross our picket line. ‘Never crossing’ is coded in every Teamster’s DNA. But still, their solidarity was inspiring and eye-opening,” Opio said.
