AI Thread Summary
To read PostScript files on Windows XP, users can download "Ghostview," which requires "Ghostscript" to function properly. While some find Ghostview challenging to set up, it is a recommended solution. Alternatively, Adobe Distiller can be used to convert PostScript files into PDF format, providing another effective method for accessing the content. For additional software options, searching on download sites like www.download.com may yield further solutions.

I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South.
There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube:
