Changing sides is never free, 8 September 2008
8/10
Author: stensson from Stockholm, Sweden

There's a new exploited class in the Western world. The illegal immigrants. Since they've got no papers, they will take any work, any wage, any risks. And there are people who are just too eager to help them.

The main person here is fired from a recruiting agency. She starts her own and also starts to exploit people like she's been exploited. The free world means almost slavery, since people without papers have no rights. But those who provide companies with such labour force can easily become the victims in this perverted order.

Another Ken Loach movie which put the unpleasant questions. And gives the unpleasant answers.
