The Gig Is Up (2021)
Humanizing a complex subject
28 April 2021 - 7 out of 8 users found this review helpful.
This documentary brings a remarkably accessible and human perspective to the otherwise opaque and complex workings of the gig economy. This is perhaps the most pressing labor issue of our time, and yet it is not given the attention it deserves because people (myself included) struggle to understand the complexity and scope of the issue. This documentary serves as a really important and interesting overview, with very moving and compelling subjects. Many of the characters in this doc would merit films dedicated entirely to them, but the effectiveness of this film is in how it shows a solidarity of experience across stories. It's fluid and fun to watch, and I learned a great deal from it.
