New documentary exposing hazardous working conditions in Samsung Electronics premiers at South Korea's National Assembly
"A Documentary On Samsung Cluster Victims Premieres at S. Korea’s National Assembly", 26 June 2017
A new documentary on the agonies of victims of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.’s blood-disorder cluster has chosen an unusual venue for its premiere: South Korea’s National Assembly hall... Stories from the Cleanroom, produced jointly by SHARPS and the anti-toxic waste global network IPEN, features twenty separate interviews with infirm victims... “The premiere stunned the lawmakers,” added [David] DiGangi [senior science and technical adviser with the IPEN]. “The National Assembly location gave it a gravitas that increased the impact even more.” After ten years of campaigning, on May 8, SHARPS prized open the gate of the country’s legislature as the then-would ruling Minjoo Party agreed to a four-point policy framework urging Samsung to resume dialogue with the advocacy group... There is little reason for SHARPS to ratchet down the pressure on the new ruling party which has a mixed record at best on disciplining Samsung and other big corporations.
