SHE is a choral narrative about female workers in one of the largest electronic industrial plant based in Vietnam, with 80,000 workers. 80% of the basic workforce are women who have agreed to work 12-hour shifts, day and night. The bodies of the workers are revealed piece by piece, maintaining the necessary anonymity that guarantees the freedom to denounce the working conditions imposed on each one’s life.
SHE is a mother, daughter, wife, single, migrant and settled at the same time. Each protagonist is different. However, they are all connected in the exploitation they are subjected to every day, unable to realize their dreams in the painful struggle for their ambitions.
