"Employees of Babylon Mitte, a cinema with a 'leftie' image, which is partly funded by the local government, have organized together with the syndicalist union FAU (Freie Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter Union).
'Babylon System' is a documentation of the struggle against non-tariff precarious work. In this conflict, not only employees and management clash, but also two different union strategies.
The film is a glimpse behind the scenes of this labour dispute, which it analyses as a prime example for increasing precarity in the cultural sector." (Freundeskreis-Videoclips)
