JOBS FOR ALL! - How Is Work Working for You? - Op-Docs.
Last year, during a pandemic that endangered and disrupted the global work force, Sweden’s public broadcaster Sveriges Television AB asked us, Maximilien Van Aertryck and Axel Danielson, to make a film about work. We were given unfettered access to its visual archives, studying the way work has been portrayed and discussed in the modern age.
While making "JOBS FOR ALL!," we began to ask ourselves questions about how work works today. As you may have seen in our previous Op-Doc, “Ten Meter Tower,” we’re filmmakers interested in human nature, examining how and why we do what we do.
Here, we ask whether we work to live or live to work. Can we achieve true democracy without considering economic democracy? Can economic growth and value be achieved only by exploiting the work of many to create value for the few?
