After Work
Workers in the United States lose over 500 million holiday hours each year while grappling with a changing work environment.
“A thought-provoking film that looks at the phenomenon of work in the 21st century with the razor sharp X-ray vision and equally sharp humour. From Kuwait to Korea, from the US to Europe, and from nine to five.”
Synopsis
Workers in the United States lose over 500 million holiday hours each year while grappling with a changing work environment.
Synopsis
Kuwait's constitution guarantees a job for every citizen, resulting in situations where multiple individuals occupy a single position. In South Korea, the government has enacted policies to automatically shut down computers at the end of the workday, addressing a culture of overwork. Meanwhile, in the United States, workers lose over 500 million holiday hours each year, and Amazon drivers are pushing for unionization. Erik Gandini's film examines how the concept of work, shaped by Puritan ideals since the 1600s, faces challenges in the 21st century.
