From delivering food and driving ride shares to tagging images for 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. And yet the stories of the workers behind this tech revolution have gone largely neglected. Who are the people in this shadow workforce? It brings their stories into the light. 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.

Through an engaging global cast of characters, it reveals how the magic of technology we are being sold might not be magic at all.

The Complex Gig Economy
This Documentary was both fun to watch and challenging to my understanding of this complex issue. The characters brought to light the necessity to take another look at the perils of these low paid workers. The struggle of the food delivery men and woman on bikes was ridiculously dangerous to say the least Fasted paced, fun to watch and quite eye opening!
