She

A portrait of the everyday lives and work of women employed in one of the largest electronics factories in Bắc Ninh province, Vietnam. The plant employs 80,000 women, who make up around 80% of the workforce and work long 12-hour day and night shifts under constant surveillance and relentless productivity pressure. The film explores the physical and emotional challenges of assembly-line work and the impact of these conditions on identity, family relationships, and the dreams of young Vietnamese women for a better future. Blending observational documentary with paratheatrical reconstructions and an ethnographic view of labor in a contemporary Vietnamese factory, the film contrasts the repetition of tasks, the monotony of machines, and the harsh industrial environment with the individuality, resilience, and solidarity of the women who work there. It raises questions about exploitation and gender in the global system of production and economy, as well as women’s labor rights and the personal and familial costs they bear in an era of transformation.
