From Im Heung-soon, acclaimed director of Jeju Prayer, comes another eye-opening documentary that pulls back the curtain on the hidden cost of economic growth. Factory Complex gives a voice to the often-overlooked women behind Asia’s manufacturing boom, chronicling their struggles, resilience, and untold stories of survival.
Through deeply personal interviews with female factory workers in South Korea, Cambodia, and Vietnam, this powerful documentary explores over 40 years of labor history — from the 1960s Guro Industrial Complex in Seoul to the 2014 textile workers' strike. Director Im and his team traveled over 22,000 kilometers, documenting the harsh realities faced by 65 workers across three countries. These are the voices of women who produce global brands like Nike, yet cannot afford the very products they make.
Factory Complex captures moments of sorrow, injustice, and quiet strength — shedding light on both the progress and the price of modern industry.
