There are "nets" around the streets, which were set up at the time of suicide in Foxconn one after another. Two people tried to commit suicide after actually setting up this net, one person died, one person took the one life.


Shooting the movie and listening to the workers on the line without the Foxconn's surveillance of the interviewed reporters, the most common complaints were handled unfairly by the supervisor, so that some labor People complain about being forced to work even if they are sick and others say they did not fill out overtime work actually done by the supervisor, and from a number of interviews Foxconn's supervisor It seems that it seems that it is normal for prejudice to be held among them.

Also, naturally it seems that no one seems to be enjoying work, he told reporters interviewed by an iPad assembly line worker named Sue as follows.

"Work is unbelievably boring, but when you are happy with your life, when you were happy in your life, friends, family, anything you want, remembering or thinking about that If it were possible, it would not be too tiring. "
