It’s A Free World - 2007 - 7/10
Unpleasant, Ken Loach “message” film about the exploitation of undocumented workers.
Angela is fired from her recruiting job after repulsing a groping male coworker.
Soon enough, she and a friend set up their own black market agency.
Companies want temp workers, day workers, casual workers.
Immigrants, especially illegal immigrants without papers, are less likely to complain when cheated.
The females soon realize there is a lot of profit in flop houses, as well.
So they lease sh!tholes, jam them with illegals, double book the rooms so sleeping is only by shifts.
Others I viewed this with were horrified. I shrugged and said it was fairly accurate, if over dramatized.
I worked with illegals for many years and most were treated OK, though we had one SOB boss who contacted Immigration every time payroll ran tight.
