(Free Screening)
Almost Broken, A Documentary by Injured Workers, For Injured Workers. Almost Broken is a documentary about a man, his family, the search for truth and justice, and how they stumbled onto more truth than they ever imagined. This is a true story that started in 1989 with an injured worker and a corrupt Worker's Compensation insurance company. Larry Nign was exposed to harmful toxic fumes from hot and burning plastic that nearly fried his lungs and left him with serious damage to his heart and lungs.

On Friday February 4, 2005, Writer/Producer Christine Pietz (an injured worker) will debut her 60 minute documentary "Almost Broken" which will seen at a special showing for injured workers and the Radio, Television & Print media from 1:00 to 3:00PM in the Koret Auditorium of the San Francisco Public Library located at 100 Larkin Street in San Francisco, located on the lower level.

This is a MUST SEE movie for every injured worker and for that matter, any person interested in the rights of California's workers. After the movie, there with be a Question & Answer period with the producers and injured workers advocates, as well as an update as to what is going on with Workers’ Compensation in California.

The library is less than a half block from the CivicCenter Metro & BART stations.
This documentary is the story about the ongoing fight of Southern California injured worker Larry Nign in his 14 year battle with the quasi-state owned State Compensation Insurance Fund and their attempts to financially crush him and break his spirit. This documentary will show you how California’s Workers Compensation insurance carriers commit fraud and corruption against the occupationally injured on a daily basis and asks the question why the state does not take legal or criminal action to protect it's own citizens from the predatory business practices of these corporations.
