Bright Lights Film Series: ‘The Gig Is Up’

The gig economy is worth over $5 trillion globally, and growing. And yet the stories of the workers behind this tech revolution have gone largely neglected. Who are the people in this shadow workforce? Lured by the promise of flexible work hours, independence, and control over time and money, workers from around the world have found a very different reality. The Gig is Up reveals how the magic of technology we are being sold might not be magic at all. Discussion with director Shannon Walsh and a second guest to follow.
