“Behind the Swoosh”

OUr Earth and NFT will host a screening of the short documentary “Behind the Swoosh: Sweatshops and Social Justice” Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. in the Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Sooner Room next to Crossroads.

“Behind the Swoosh” tells the story of Jim Keady, the former soccer coach at St. John’s University. Keady stood up against the labor practices of Nike, a move that ultimately cost him his job. After his resignation, Keady moved to an Indonesian slum where he lived with factory workers. He documented his experiences in “Behind the Swoosh.” A discussion on issues raised in the film will follow.
