SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion on the Lives of Migrant Domestic Workers
DESCRIPTION:“We don’t dance fore nothing” is a photo-montage love letter to the Filipina Domestic Workers of Hong Kong. This visual recreation of true memories shared by this community of 400\,000 women (millions globally) follows one woman’s plan to run away.  Captured on Super-16 amidst the Hong Kong Protests\, stills blend with motion to highlight the passionate Street Dancing of these women\, and touch upon LGBTQ+ themes\, issues of Workers’ Rights\, and Hong Kong’s changing political landscape. From Chinese – Greek – American director Stefanos Tai\, the film has been described as “La Jetée” meets “La La Land”\, and its use of stills vs. motion represent a bold new method of filmmaking: one which invites the viewer to viscerally experience the entrapment felt by these women\, and their release into freedom when they dance. Among saturated and staid media coverage of these women\, WDDFN paints these heroes beyond their job descriptions\, as people full of talent\, joy\, and grace. \nThe film will be screened on 8 December 2022\, 5.30-7.30 pm at SEA Junction\, 4th floor\, BACC. The screening will be followed by a discussion on the lives of migrant domestic workers with the speakers listed below\, organized by USAID Asia CTIP\, Winrock International\, and SEA Junction. \nSpeakers: \n\nStefanos Tai\, Film Director \nPoonsap Tulaphan\, HomeNet Thailand\nNawin Santikarn\, The Remedy Project\n\nModerator: Sara Piazzano\, Chief of Party\, USAID Asia CTIP \n  \n \nFor information/reservation for our events\, please email southeastasiajunction@gmail.com or phone: +66970024140. \nOrganizers: \nUSAID Asia Counter Trafficking in Persons program (USAID Asia CTIP) brings together governments\, civil society\, and businesses to support regional initiatives to combat trafficking in persons.  By strengthening collaboration between source and destination countries and by developing tools and systems to prevent and combat human trafficking\, USAID Asia CTIP is supporting the Presidential Executive Order on Enforcing Federal Law with Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations and Preventing International Trafficking.
