What makes a good job… good?
That’s the question former US President Barack Obama asks in his new Netflix documentary series, “Working: What We Do All Day” (“Working: what we do all day”, in the free translation).
The four-part series, narrated by Obama, “explores the ways we find meaning in our work and how our experiences and struggles connect us on a human level,” according to a Netflix project description.
“When we ensure that everyone feels that their work is respected, that everyone’s contribution is honored, and that everyone is paid enough to truly participate in the lives of our communities, we reinforce the trust between us that makes everything in our lives possible,” he said. Obama in note.
In an exclusive first look at the series for CNN, the former president speaks with everyday people in the workforce across a variety of industries.
Inspired by the book “Working” 1974, by Studs Terkel, the award-winning writer Pulitzer Prize– a story that explores the reality of work and the people who do it – the series aims to promote understanding and appreciation for the work people do.
“Working: What We Do All Day” is directed by Caroline Suh, with Barack and Michelle Obama among the project’s executive producers.
The series is a joint production between Concordia Studio and Higher Ground, founded by the Obamas in 2018. Their company has released more than 10 film and television titles, including the 2020 Academy Award-winning documentary “American Factory.”
“Working: What We Do All Day” premieres May 17 on Netflix.
