In the Company of Men
William Greaves
1969
This Newsweek production offers profound insight into how psychodramatic role-playing and sensitivity training can generate constructive dialogue between white supervisors and Black employees. Concerned with increasing numbers of the “hardcore unemployed” during the late 1960s, companies began hiring consultants to foster honest conversations that uncovered mass resentment among workers toward their managers’ overt and covert racism. In an echo of his Symbiopsychotaxiplasm experiments, William Greaves calls upon raw, guerrilla-style camera work to observe how African American men use these sessions to express long-suppressed anger in the face of consistent professional humiliation. Among the outcomes is their bosses’ dawning recognition of the brutal realities that encourage so many skilled laborers to suffer unemployment rather than endure the demeaning American workplace.
