Synopsis Exploring stories of Uber drivers in Amsterdam, In This Together shows how working for an app separates people and makes it impossible to listen. It exposes how work under capitalism puts us in conflict with each other. Rather than feeling pity, the film invites audiences to enact solidarity in its place.
