When a factory is converted into an art gallery, where do the workers go? Touching on ideas of class, cultural capital, and gentrification, Classe Media (Middle Class) explores an historic tram factory in Milan, Italy. The first person documentary investigates the supposed disappearance of the working class and the contradictions of being a working class artist.
