Overseas brings to light the question of domestic slavery in our globalised world where everything including humans are a commodity. But Yoon's beautifully crafted and insightful documentary does not make her subjects passive victims. Eschewing the lazy choice of wall to wall narration, the women are given the time and space to speak for themeselves. Between the laughter and pathos, slowly we discover the individual and unique stories of each woman. Yoon's patient and rigorous filmmaking emphasizes their determination, sisterhood, and the strategies they find to face the obstacles that await them in the near future. Yoon is a major talent to watch out for.

OVERSEAS

The film tells the story of Philippino domestic workers in their own words - and how the globalisation of labour resembles modern day slavery.

This short animated film tells the story of the thousands of women from extremely poor backgrounds, in countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, South Asia or Africa, who have to find work abroad to support their families. Employed as “maids” and isolated in foreign households, many of these workers find themselves trapped in conditions of great hardship. Based on the real life stories of migrant domestic workers, THEY CALL US MAIDS uses vivid watercolour animation to reveal some disturbing truths about modern slavery.
