THE MIRACULOUS TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORKING CLASS INTO FOREIGNERS
by Samir
Samir uses private family photos, animations, music clips and unseen archive material to tell the story of migration from Switzerlands southern neighbours in an entertaining way, from the post-war period to the present day. While the SP and trade unions led the Swiss workers' culture until the 1950s, these institutions became less and less important and a new force emerged that continues to shape our society today: Labour migration. Today, nobody talks about the "working class" anymore. And the term "worker" has become synonymous with "foreigner?.
