008 On the Waterfront

I thought this was an insightful look into a world that is so different from the ones I have experienced myself. A longshoreman goes from golden boy to pariah among the dock hands. Organized crime has corrupted the labor union. The same organization that spoiled this particular longshorman's chance at a boxing career. In the end, he is able to redeem himself by standing up for himself and his fellow longshoremen, exposing the corruption and breaking the union. It's a very cool story.
