About Factory Complex:

As it reflects the current lives of women workers in Cambodia and Vietnam, the documentary reveals the resemblance of the Korean women working in poor environments 40 years ago. When South Korea saw a sudden economic development, it shocked the whole world. The secret behind this is the harsh working experience of marginalized female laborers.

This documentary unveils the oppression of female workers who worked in the textile industry in the 1960s. The documentary also includes stories of flight attendants, cashiers, and some regular workers of the present day. As the current situation of Cambodian and Vietnamese female workers resembles the Korean labor history, it is apparent that times have changed, but the labor form still remains the same.

  • Director: Im Heung-soon

You can stream it on Kanopy.
