UnionDocs is a documentary arts collaborative in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Our activities vary in form - we work in video, sound, text, live performance, music and photography, both independently and in combination, online and off. This video podcast promises an eclectic collection that expands beyond what can easily be called 'documentary,' we use the term because it implies an engagement with the subject of reality.
