Bureaucratic Cramp - discussion

“It’s not the bureaucrats’ lawlessness that is stopping the society from action –  it is fixation on its own defeat and loss that is nailing us harder to the Kremlin cobblestones. 
Thus creating a human army of apathetical statues, patiently awaiting their fate. Right now, when those in power are turning our country into one big prison, openly stealing from the population and redirecting financial flows into the enrichment and expansion of police apparatus and other security services.
The society allows this lawlessness forgetting that their number is bigger and that their inaction is drawing the dawning of a police state nearer.”

Bureaucratic Cramp - discussion
Considering the changing nature of work under global capitalism and the role of female labour, the film ‘Some Women, Other Women and all the Bittermen’ (2014, dir. Rehana Zaman) is a contentious and highly engaging adoption of the conventions of British soap opera place alongside footage documenting meetings of migrant women in the UK at the self-led organisation Justice for Domestic Workers in Leeds.
