Write a short summary of what happens in the film

We see a day in the life of Chen, a Chinese worker and the comprehensive behavior tracking that happens in his workplace with CCTVs and various tracking methods following his activity throughout his day. At the end of the ad, we reveal that all that tracking had failed to predict that later that night after work Chen would take his own life.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

China is an all-seeing state. It has the largest and most sophisticated camera surveillance systems. Cameras with artificial intelligence are in widespread use. They can read faces, estimate age, ethnicity and gender. They can match your face with your car license plate. They can match you with your relatives or the people you are in touch with. Same goes for companies. Many companies use data to track how many times their employees pause or take breaks during work. They also know everything workers do while in the company: they record their internet usage, calendars, time allocation per project, etc. In spite of access to all this huge amount of data, companies still know nothing about their employees’ mental health. It’s estimated that China has 100 million workers with mental health issues. That’s why it was critical for CEO Roundtable to do this campaign targeting big Chinese corporations.
