“Chisel” is a film that calls into question the economic hierarchy of Latino laborers from the lower level of our society. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of sacrificing what makes you an individual and losing your innocence in a corrupt world. A tale that observes labor exploitation, inequality, and the immigrant working experience. The film occupies space in untold narratives and slices open the workplace hierarchy.
In tradition with Vittorio De Sica (The Bicycle Thief) and Martin Scorsese (Gangs of New York), “Chisel” captures the nature of a desperate culture and reclaims what it means to be an underdog in the USA. If nothing else, “Chisel” is a blunt depiction of the current inflationary period of our time.
