THE COOPERATORS - In 1962, the ILGWU (International Ladies Garment Workers Union) threw open the doors to Penn South, the affordable housing cooperative in the middle of New York City. The Cooperators is based on oral history interviews with the first residents of the coop. Their voices weave a story of the vision, struggle and community that have kept Penn South a beacon of affordable housing and the bold possibilities of social unionism.
