Summary

We may know that our jeans are made in sweatshops in China, but his film makes us see the whole picture. The workers, mostly females as young as 14, come from villages far from the big city. They work seven days a week, sometimes up to 20 hours straight, for low wages and no overtime compensation and have food and lodging deducted from those wages. The bosses see only the competition to keep prices low so they can sell to retailers like Wal-Mart. If they lose sales, everyone would be out of work. It's a dilemma with no solution..
