The Gig Is Up

Uber, DoorDash, Citi Bikes and the like are part of the global explosion of convenience for consumers, and they provide desperately needed income opportunities for otherwise marginalized workers-but often with high hidden costs. Following several workers from around the world, director Shannon Walsh explores the economic and physical vulnerability of these enterprising wage earners. Eye-opening, timely, and relatable, this insightful film documents the latest iteration of the perennial struggle for workers' rights across the globe.—- Karen McMullen, DOC NYC
