A Documentary Special by Albert Maysles and Bradley Kaplan From the Rolling Stones to Muhammad Ali to a grandmother raising five kids in the South, Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles (GIMME SHELTER, SALESMAN, GREY GARDENS) has captured some of the most iconic figures of the past 50 years with his intimate style and poetic cinematography. Now, along with award-winning filmmaking partner, Bradley Kaplan (MUHAMMAD AND LARRY, GET YER YA-YA'S OUT), he turns his lens on some of the country’s greatest unsung heroes in MORE THAN A PAYCHECK: Mitchum Presents AMERICA’S HARDEST WORKERS -- a documentary special featuring five individuals who have raised the bar for hard work in America today. Featuring a cattle rancher in South Dakota, a baker in Brooklyn, and including the winner of Mitchum's Hardest Working Person in America contest, Chad Pregracke of East Moline, IL (who has removed over 7 million pounds of garbage from the Mississippi River), Maysles Films gives us a unique, behind-the-scenes look into the lives of some of the most engaging, hardest working people in America. Executive Produced by Brett Ratner.
