Newsies poster★ 6.7

A week in the life of the exploited, child newspaper sellers in turn-of-the-century New York. When their publisher, Joseph Pulitzer, tries to squeeze a little more profit out of their labours, they organize a strike, only to be confronted with the Pulitzer's hard-ball tactics.

Newsies keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E6/E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing class, labor, exploitation, power, authority.
