12 LEMONS: Further Adventures from the Gig Economy
Beth Fox
Description
"Beneath the shiny surface of our phones and tablets, behind the frictionless apps that allow us to order all kinds of products and services, someone, somewhere, is doing the work.”
12 LEMONS: FURTHER ADVENTURES FROM THE GIG ECONOMY (2023) engages with the intersection of bodily autonomy and labour exploitation, focusing on a food delivery courier who contends with their disordered eating while working during the pandemic. The body is caught between the demands of an exploitative economy and the invisibility of essential workers.
12 LEMONS is the second in a trilogy of films about working in the gig economy.
