Invisible Frontliners - Forgotten essential workers

During the pandemic, frontliners in Switzerland went from overlooked to applauded. But beyond the applause, what shifted? This captivating documentary revisits the lives of those who care, clean, and carry out the invisible work of society.

Through honest reflections, the film asks: How did it feel to be suddenly acknowledged? Did working conditions improve? And why do these individuals remain in jobs that are underpaid, undervalued, and often emotionally draining? A thoughtful and necessary documentary about dignity, labor, and the gap between public praise and systemic change.
