In Argentina, the majority of delivery drivers working for local UberEats clone apps are Venezuelans who have fled the crisis ravaging their country. Filmed during the pandemic in Buenos Aires, Caracas and Colonia Tovar, Riders forcefully immerses us in the gruelling daily lives of those exploited by the platform economy at both ends of South America.

[Visions du Réel '24] The film observes from a distance the comings and goings of the motorcycles and bicycles driven by food delivery workers. A single static shot of a street in the center of Buenos Aires reflects the continuous passage of these delivery workers who, during the time of the pandemic, experienced a notable increase in their level of work. An observational documentary that has certain difficulties in specifying its focus, perhaps due to the fact that it offers a too general image of the work of these delivery workers, the largest Venezuelan emigrants in Argentina. Going from the most general representation to the most particular vision of a family in Venezuela, it offers a sample of job insecurity through the eyes of the young people who occupy these jobs.
