What media platforms can we rely on when free speech is at risk? How can filmmakers and content creators own their labor and maintain creative control?
Ebony speaks with Nick Hayes from MeansTV, the first worker-owned, anticapitalist, steaming service that reflects the 99%. They are financed through member subscription, free of any advertisements or venture capital. We discuss how MeansTV is building a media platform for anticapitalist filmmakers and creators in an industry where they have been excluded, balancing content that is challenging capitalism and offering solutions, media as a tool for connecting working class people through shared struggle, and what infrastructure is need to accommodate revolution.
