Uber, DoorDash, Citi Bikes and the like are part of the global explosion of convenience for consumers, and they provide desperately needed income opportunities for otherwise marginalized workers-but often with high hidden costs. Following several workers from around the world, director Shannon Walsh explores the economic and physical vulnerability of these enterprising wage earners. Eye-opening, timely, and relatable, this insightful film documents the latest iteration of the perennial struggle for workers' rights across the globe. —- Karen McMullen, DOC NYC
