Assumption to Show Documentary on Market Basket Family Feud
Thursday, January 26, 2017
“This documentary is significant for students interested in business ethics. This film illustrates the commitment of Market Basket employees to defend their company against a management takeover as a result of a family feud. Such a mobilization by employees is rare in the history of U.S. corporations,” said Eric Drouart, director of Assumption’s MBA program.
The screening will take place on Monday, February 6 and is free and open to the public.
FOOD FIGHT
The documentary tells story of the battle to save Market Basket, and about the power of ordinary, passionate people to rewrite corporate history.
During the summer of 2014, a feud broke out among the Demoulas family, owners of Market Basket, as Arthur S. Demoulas and a faction of the Market Basket board fired CEO Arthur T. Demoulas. A corporate “food fight” began, affecting dozens of communities, tens of thousands of workers, and the economies of three states, and sparked a corporate drama and media firestorm that swept across the country.
FOOD FIGHT, won the award for Best Content at the Boston International Film Festival; the Audience Award at the Newburyport Documentary Film Festival; and director, Jay Childs, was awarded New Hampshire Filmmaker of the Year at the New Hampshire Film Festival.
The film is narrated by long-time Boston newscaster Randy Price.
