DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival\nEmpire 
 of Shame Director - Hong Li-gyeong (92 min) 2013, Korea\nEmpire of Shame is 
 about the struggle of Samsung workers to defend their health and safety and 
 get compensation from the company. The corporation refused to admit that 
 workers were getting cancer from the chemicals and toxins that were used in 
 the plants.\n A total of 193 employees have applied for workers 
 compensation for industrial diseases and 73 of these workers have already 
 lost their lives to disease.\n Workers are required to give direct proof of 
 a casual link between their duties and their sickness. This makes it 
 extremely difficult for worker who are very sick to get the treatment they 
 need. \n This film shows the struggle to get to the truth and to defend the 
 health and safety of the workers. \nSee
