Friend or Foe documents the bitter struggle of contracted workers at KT (Korean Telecommunication) against globalisation. Under the imperatives of structural adjustment, KT forced workers to work under "non-regular" contracts at lower pay, heightened job insecurity and limited legal protection vis-à-vis regularly employed workers. When the company announced its new "downsizing" plan in 2000, they fired 7,000 contract workers. The targeted workers launched a new union and waged a bitter struggle. Friend or Foe exposes the serious situation imposed by globalisation on workers compelled to accept temporary status and provides critical analysis of the weaknesses of the current labour movement. Directed by award-winning female director Jiyoung Lee, who won the Best Documentary prize at the 2002 Pusan International Film Festival.

To be a upright benign being is to procure a amiable of openness to the world, an gift to guardianship undeterminable things beyond your own control, that can take you to be shattered in very exceptional circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something very weighty thither the prerequisite of the ethical autobiography: that it is based on a trust in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a treasure, something rather feeble, but whose extremely particular handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.
