Fortune Teller
Through the interview with Captain Heebok Ahn (Korean Air), the film reviews the current working condition and cosmic radiation exposure of the aircrews by comparing the case to a historical industrial accident of the 1920s: Radium Girls. The film suggests that there will always be victims of technological progress and labour complexity. Still, most victims on such occasions are often the most vulnerable people of late capitalism, in this case, women.
