Tokyo Uber Blues
By Taku Aoyagi
Season 37
Episode 10
Shot with a mix of smartphones and GoPros, filmmaker Taku Aoyagi takes us on his daily bike rides as an Uber Eats worker. But pedaling on Tokyo’s deserted streets, delivering boba tea to cloistered condos, he starts to wonder...what was it that Ken Loach said about the Uberization of society? And what does gig-work offer an unemployed young person with student debt?
