Ciné-ONU: THE GIG IS UP

Shannon Walsh, CA/FR, 2021
88 min., OmdU
A very human tech doc, “The Gig Is Up” uncovers the real costs of the platform economy through the lives of people working for companies around the world, including Uber, Amazon and Deliveroo. From delivering food and driving ride shares to tagging images for artificial intelligence (AI), millions of people around the world are finding work task by task online. The gig economy is worth over 5 trillion USD globally, and growing. Who are the people in this shadow workforce? “The Gig Is Up” brings their stories into the light.
On the occasion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Summit 2023, the United Nations Information Service (UNIS) Vienna, in cooperation with the Global Compact Network Austria (GCNA), cordially invites you to the Ciné-ONU Vienna screening of the film “The Gig Is Up”, followed by a panel discussion.
