Description
The abundance of temporary workers used for cheap labour with human and labour rights violations is of local and international concern. The reality is that imperialist governments and economies need immigration more than immigrants need the country. However, the system has created a perception that immigrants are weak outsiders and are here with the belief that their stay is based on their service to the “real citizens” of the country. This program reflects on these issues and portrays how it is possible to change this dynamic/game.
