Desc: Shut'Em Down: Directed by Joseph Ariola. Shut'Em Down is a hard-hitting depiction of how New York's lucrative construction industry is systematically shaken down by The Mob, Minority Labor Gangs, the Unions and White-Collar City Officials. It follows the life long fight for equal rights from crusaders James Houghton and Mosses Harris and how they fought not only unemployment in the unionized construction industry, but racial discrimination as well. Third Generation New York City Local 15 Operating Engineers member and writer/producer Joseph Ariola with over 35 years in the construction industry and a first responder on 911 brings this story of corruption, shakedowns, payoffs, and murder.
