Time to Work!
Directed by Gilles Perret, François Ruffin
Produced by Les 400 clous
A socially conscious documentary that uses a provocative wager to expose class inequality and the gap between lived working-class reality and bourgeois perception.
Following a heated debate on a French news television channel, Left wing MP François Ruffin defies a TV columnist and attorney, Sarah Saldmann, to work and live one month on the minimum-wage. This humanistic and humoristic documentary highlights the daily struggles and joys of the working-class compared to the fantasy the bourgeoisie has built up in the media. It also raises a thorny question : can the rich be socially reintegrated ?
