Nogada is slang for day laborers working in construction site. This film depicts the lives of daily construction workers in South Korea. Although they are in many ways the backbone of the South Korean economy they are often marginalized. NoGaDas work 10 to 12 hours a day, seven days a week, under dangerous working conditions for low wages without any benefits. As a result of the 1997 IMF economic crisis, many construction workers began to live in the streets, while others had their wages cut by 40% and work hours dramatically reduced. Under the backdrop of this, construction workers and their supporters began to organize and demand for jobs.
