Films For Workers: Dessert For Constance

In DESSERT FOR CONSTANCE (1981), Bokolo and Mamadou are sweepers in the city of Paris, looking for a way to pay for the return home of one of their sick comrades.

FILMS FOR WORKERS is a season of low-cost cinema for trade union members running at the Rio Cinema from January to February 2026, celebrating worker solidarity and empowerment and exploring labour conditions on screen, as well as creating a space where audience members can take part in discussions of their own working lives.
