DESCRIPTION:Blue Elephants (14 min.) (2010) Directed by: Moritz Siebert\n\nThis film 
 documents the every day lives of Indonesian and Nepali migrant workers who 
 work for Malaysian contract manufacturers that produce goods for some of 
 the world’s best-known brands. One-third of migrant workers in the 
 Malaysian electronics industry are trapped in forced labor, a form of 
 modern-day slavery, according to new research by Verité, an NGO working on 
 supply chain accountability. Verité found that forced labor is present in 
 the supply chains of a wide cross-section of household electronics brands, 
 which use Malaysian factories to produce billions of pounds worth of goods 
 every year. \n\nDriving for Hire (1h. 25 min.) (2015) Directed by: John 
 Han\n\nThis documentary made by SF cab driver John Han is a deep dive into 
 the multiplicity of issues that have surrounded the contentious battle in 
 California (and much of the rest of the world) between the cab industry and 
 ride-service firms Uber and Lyft over the past several years: insurance, 
 wages, wheelchair access and something that hasn’t received a lot of 
 attention: The environmental cost of putting all those extra vehicles on 
 the road. \n\nThe producer John Han will speak during Q and 
 A.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpcJlw4CpPc\n\nSee also:\nMoritz
