Race to the BottomSummary
An expanded version of the film for television Work (dir. Vít Janeček, 2011). The film describes the current economic crisis not as a short-term deviation in the economic system, but as a logical consequence of the changing approach to work as such and a far less balanced distribution of profits. The film shows a society in which work has become a fetish, but in which only few have a chance to achieve and meaningful way of making a living. – The film was screened in cinemas as part of the Czech Joy in Czech cinemas project.
