Wayne Kramer “Oswald’s Brigade” from Let Fury Have the Hour on Vimeo.

We were honored to have Wayne take the time to discuss his adventures as a pioneer of punk rock while playing in the MC5, working with Billy Bragg on non-profit Jail Guitar Doors (a program that provides musical instruments and opportunities to help rehabilitate prisoners), and his concepts of revolution through music, Wayne also took up his guitar for us. This will no doubt stand as a pinnacle moment in the creation of Let Fury Have the Hour.

No Free Lunch from Let Fury Have the Hour on Vimeo.

Produced, written and directed by Antonino D’Ambrosio, No Free Lunch features brilliant comedian Lewis Black of the hit Comedy Central political news satire show, The Daily Show. Presented by the Service Employee International Union (SEIU)— a union representing nearly 2 million public service workers including nurses, hospital staff, nursing home care providers, building services and security guards— No Free Lunch is the first film in a series aimed at addressing economic injustice and income inequality in America. Using the political satire of Lewis Black, the film directly exposes the effects private equity has had on workers and the American economy. In many ways, the film presaged the current economic crisis in the United States, which private equity helped to stoke.
