Invisibles: the click workers. A French documentary about the overexploited workers without a voice

 

Best documentary at the 2020 International Bangkok Documentaty Awards

Content workers for Facebook in Dublin sue FB. Have you heard about it?

Statement in English from the French director Henri Poulain 

The first episode (about bike ubereats riders with English subtitles) where the pressure to deliver leads to accidents, sometimes fatal. When such a tragic accident happens, ubereats refuses to provide any information about the worker! see at 6 minutes.

Apparently the film is available via Vimeo (free 30 day trial and then you have to pay). Not sure how to get access :( 

I am trying to find out how English speakers can see the whole film.

Surprise in the second episode here comes... Lionbridge! see at 1.50 minutes (sorry it's in French). The worker based in France works for Google but this has to remain a secret.


At 7 minutes, she says that in 3,5 years, she has never met in person the employer, everything is done via internet. There is very strict confidentiality clause. 

The film is originally a TV series in 4 episodes (mostly in French).
