WAITING FOR THE BARBARIANS

Costas Stamatopoulos

Treatment
The documentary deals with contemporary immigration through a journey in workplaces employing foreign workers, often under adverse conditions. The immigrant in this documentary is not only seen as the product that meets a need, but primarily as the object of the cruel exploitation of his or her labor power. Immigrants are used as expendable in order to maximize profit without being granted even basic labor and human rights. Indeed,they are treated as virtually invisible around us. On the other hand, these very conditions give birth to the solidarity, anger and fighting spirit necessary to defend their rights.
