Dear Alex,

I've got a suggestion for your list, a film with a special social message about how night work will be affected by Brexit and now coronavirus.

Best,

Magda

Nightshift Spitalfields

Synopsis

A 10-minute documentary, about Ali, a Bulgarian-Turkish porter at the night market, who works six nights a week, often on 15-hour shift, loading and transporting goods. His nightshifts are incredibly demanding, mentally, emotionally and physically. Many workers have families, but it’s almost impossible to have a proper family life when on graveyard shift duty, six nights per week. They can’t take proper part in society, they can’t organise to improve their conditions – they are just exhausted and worn down.

 

Night workers like Ali are an invisible group of people who keep the city running with their labour. Those of us who sleep at night have no idea that they even exist, but without them, the supermarket shelves would be empty in the morning. Crucially, after the end of the Brexit transition period, these workers won’t be eligible to come here from the EU under freedom of movement. And if the Government introduces the proposed work-based immigration system – requiring workers to either meet a salary threshold of at least £25,600 or a points threshold based on qualifications, English language ability and age, among other things – they won’t be able to come here at all. That’s bad for them and likely even worse for London, which relies heavily on their labour to function as an urban metropolis."
