Tokyo Freeters


Tokyo Freeters
Marc Petitjean
2010 / France, Japan / 48min


Summary

In Japan, more than four million young people survive by taking on precarious jobs. They are called “freeters”. The film gives voice to these “discard-after-use” workers, who regard their situation with both lucidity and desperation, as well as to ex-freeters who have become activists in the fight against exclusions.
