Hotel Explotación: Las Kellys uncovers the hidden reality of over 200,000 women working as cleaning staff in Spain's hospitality industry. Despite their indispensable role, they remain invisible and vulnerable to exploitation. In October 2016, the Kellys (hotel chambermaids) decided to take a stand for their rights against outsourcing and unfair labor practices.

As the government touts the strength of the tourism sector, the Kellys endure deteriorating working conditions and unfair wages. Over 70% rely on medication to endure the stress of cleaning multiple rooms daily. As outsourcing becomes a trend, many find themselves excluded from regular hotel staff.

Hotel Explotación: Las Kellys chronicles their struggle to organize, empower, and reclaim their dignity in the face of exploitation. Aimed at educators seeking to shed light on labor rights and social justice issues, this documentary offers a poignant portrayal of resilience and collective action amidst systemic injustice.
