Overview
In collaboration with Termite TV Collective, Deborah Rudman has produced a documentary called Yo! Taxi about the struggles of Philadelphia area Taxi drivers who have been marginalized. Through conversations, testimonials and activities with the Unified Taxi Workers Alliance, the experiences of this highly visible yet silenced population come to life. Creating this unique portraiture brings into focus taxi drivers' rights, safety conditions, access to healthcare and issues of economic justice. This documentary reveals the human face and voice of a community of workers that is so often forgotten.
