Based on extensive research and interviews, SWEAT follows a tight-knit group of coworkers who have shared their lives both on and off the factory floor. But when deindustrialization threatens their jobs, friendships fray, resentments surface, and long-buried tensions around race, class, and belonging are thrust to the surface.

“A passionate and necessary drama, a masterful depiction of the forces that divide and conquer us… Along with the rage, despair, violence, there’s humour and abundant humanity” Time Out New York
SWEAT contains strong language, substance abuse, depictions of violence, themes of racism and discrimination, and references to incarceration.
