Hard Working Americans Have Been Honoured in a Short-Form Documentary Series

Hard working Americans from across the U.S. have been honoured in a short-form documentary series, Unsung, that tells the  stories of the often overlooked labourer and how their work and lifestyles intertwine.

Shell Rotella has debuted Unsung to honor hardworking Americans from around the country.

“The Shell Rotella brand is excited to shine a spotlight on people that work day in and day out to help Americans go about their daily lives,” said Chris Guerrero, global brand manager, Shell Rotella. “This series pulls back the curtain, revealing the unseen side of hardworking people from various walks of life and provides them with the recognition they deserve.”

Unsung – A life in the day of hard work is a series of short-form documentaries capturing the often unrecognized heroes who are working behind the scenes.

From coast to coast, Unsung goes on the road to find and tell the compelling, surprising and unexpected stories of the hard work that helps drive our everyday lives, Guerrero said.

“Working on a project like Unsung really opened my eyes to the men and women working tirelessly to keep this country moving,” said Geoffrey Campbell, producer of the documentaries. “I have a newfound gratitude for the many people who put in long hours and work hard in a truck each day. I am pleased to be a part of a film series that brings to light these unsung heroes.”

From a snow plow driver faced with a mid-winter blizzard to an ex-fire fighter helping a community rebuild after Hurricane Sandy, these are the stories of self-starters working long hours and relying on hard working pick-up trucks to run the small businesses that run America.
