SUMMARY

Composed of seven different vignettes separated by blackouts, Waiting For Lefty tells a desperate tale of a group of New York cab drivers pondering a labor strike. Each of the men’s heart-wrenching stories play out to reveal how they arrived at this point in their lives and what the strike could mean for them. A man named Agate Keller finally incites the taxi drivers to “unite and fight” instead of waiting for Lefty, and the strike is carried out.
