‘Using cars to change the world,’ is one of the mottos of the South Korean automobile manufacturer Hyundai, which produces 300,000 cars each year with the help of the inhabitants of the Czech village Nosovice.

The factory looks like it came from another planet, the car park and the huge drab shoeboxes contrasting shrilly with the rolling green hills that surround them. Once, the local people grew cabbages here. Now, the villagers employees must get used to the Korean’s strict working regime and perform monotonous tasks in the factory. They spend their days at the conveyor belt all day with barely a break. The previous owners of the land, farmers, were subjected to huge pressure, including death threats, to sell their fertile agricultural land bordering a nature reserve to the factory, sometimes for as little as €4000. One of the landowners resists to the last and erects a statue made of rusty car parts and a copy of a letter containing a death threat.
