“A Normal Life, Please” is popular in London ? Knowing realities in UK and Japan
Tsuchiya Tokachi’s film “A Normal Life, Please” was shown and won favorable recognition at the Raindance Film Festival in London on October 10, 2009. Before the showing, Mr. Tsuchiya said, “I’ve heard that a trade union started from a pub in the UK. It is my great pleasure to have my film shown in the country. Thank you very much”. After the screening, Mr. Tsuchiya started to talk about the worsening situations of Japan’s construction industry when the facilitator told him, “It’s terrible to work for 500 hours a month”. “The root cause was the worsening of the Worker Dispatch Law in 1985, which was modeled after the anti-labor policies of the Thatcher Administration and virtually imported from the UK”, said Mr. Tsuchiya, and some audience agreed with him.

「フツーの仕事がしたい」ロンドンで好評博す~映像通して実態交流
10月10日、ロンドンで開催されたレインダンス映画祭で、土屋トカチさんの「A Normal Life Please(フツーの仕事がしたい)」が上映され、好評を博しました。上映前に土屋さんは、「ユニオンはイギリスのパブから始まったと聞いています。そのイギリスで上映できて光栄です。今日はよろしくお願いします」と挨拶しました。上映後、司会者から「500時間はひどいね」と切り出された土屋さんは、悪化する日本の建設業界の実態を語りました。「もともとの原因は、1985年の労働者派遣法改悪で、こうした労働者に不利な方法はサッチャー政権をまねたもので、イギリスから輸入したようなものです」と語ると、会場から「そのとおりだね」との声も上がりました。(ロンドン・松浦さと子)・映画HP
