Summary |
Our shopping habits are changing fast. We're turning away from traditional shops and buying via our computers and mobile devices -- but how much do we really know about how our new digital marketplace works? This observational documentary film lifts the lid on the staggering logistical feats, cavernous warehouses and armies of industrious workers behind the scenes of this virtual realm. Meet the multitude of couriers, engineers, drivers, sorters, loaders and managers frantically working to get our clothes, food, books, DVDs and even lifesaving drugs to our homes each day. These are the unsung heroes of the shopping phenomenon of our time. Packed with striking facts and engaging stories, 24 Hour Parcel People is a captivating film that follows online deliveries from a click on a screen to a knock at the door |
