The Great Postal Heist follows director Jay Galione's father, a 30-year US Post Office clerk, who was harassed, threatened, and fired for standing up for his colleagues. A moving indictment of the toxic culture and push to downsize, the documentary chronicles the journey of postal workers, experts, and advocates who experienced firsthand the abuses in the oldest federal agency in America and stood up against the USPS's notoriously violent work environment, featuring interviews with Ralph Nader and Richard Wolff. The atmosphere was a result of systematic dismantling and privatization of the trillion-dollar mail industry by lobbyists and politicians who seek to make profits at the expense of the mental health, living wages, and working conditions of their employees.

Audience Member This is a great documentary film about the troubled system of the United States Postal Service. The director — Jay Galione — has an extraordinary insight and perspective into the inner workings of the USPS as his father dedicated his whole life to working for USPS, only to be senselessly disposed of as he was approaching his retirement. Galione's personal journey uncovers other recurring, unhealthy patterns in the USPS management. I truly enjoyed watching this film from beginning to end. The music composition compliments the movie nicely. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
