🧠 MediaFx Opinion

From a working-class, socialist lens, this incident underscores a pattern: glam film sets often mask the precarious working conditions behind the scenes. Despite heavy budgets, the safety and well-being of daily-wage workers—cameramen, light crew—can be sidelined. It’s crucial that film houses and industry unions (like AITUC, AISF) push for transparent safety oversight, fair treatment, and preventive frameworks. The film world should care as much for its crew as it does for its stars. Only then can the magic of cinema truly be shared equally. ✊🎥
