Judgment
This work presents the self-portrait of a freelance journalist. It describes, without any ideological compromise, the condition of all temporary knowledge workers. This video explains clearly and lightly the identity and the emotional implications underlying the condition of precariousness, making use of highly expressive forms of language and of coherent strategies of direction and editing.
