「台灣國際勞工協會」除了參與運動的組織和傳播、走上街頭爭取移工權益,近年也由成員陳素香籌劃,製作拍攝紀錄片《T婆工廠》&續集。紀錄片不僅作為對移工社群生活的紀錄,同時也是自覺、認同、潛能開發的媒介,另一方面也成為幫助他們發聲、爭取權益的工具。

 

《勞動轟拍》系列則更進一步將攝影機交到被記錄者的手中。一群經歷工會運動洗禮的貨櫃車司機和工會秘書們,自我挑戰拿起攝影機,用影像拍下自己的工作和生活,完成了八部記錄短片,稱之為「轟拍」。內容生猛辛辣,聳擱有力,呈現了生活中的溫柔幽默,當然也有悲傷和痛苦,吐露了工人的生活和心靈秘密。

 

 

In addition to organizing and promoting social movements, and taking to the streets to fight for the rights of migrant workers, the Taiwan International Workers Association has in recent years produced the documentary Home Video, as well as an ensuing series of documentaries. Produced by Susan Chen, a member of the association, the documentary is not only an observation of the social life of migrant laborers, but also a medium of self-consciousness, recognition and exploring potentials, while also serving as a tool for workers to speak out and fight for their rights.

 

In addition, documentary subjects—truckers who have witnessed union movements and union secretaries—also take up cameras, using them to challenge themselves by recording their own lives and livelihoods. These nine “Home Video” shorts, poignant, energetic, and uninhibited in their nature, nevertheless show the tenderness and humor in life, as well as its sorrows and pains, revealing the lives and secrets of the laborers in the process.
