The Labour Brokers – A Journey through the Construction Industry (1978)
Directed by Gerrard Verhage
“Amsterdams Stadsjournaal 19”
Documentary · 34m
The film follows two colourful labour brokers, young Toon and old Toon. They speak candidly about their dubious practices and come across as surprisingly likeable. Yes, they profit from exploiting workers — but those workers are often more than willing to go along with the system. Ultimately, De koppelbazen asks who is truly responsible for these questionable practices.
