"The film follows a twenty-three-year-old worker in a Bangladeshi

garment factory who made the equivalent of ten dollars a month when

she first took the job."

"When workers at the factory gave the owner a ist of demands for safer conditions and wages, they were severely

beaten. 96 The film portrays the structurally decrepit buildings that

house these manufacturing factories as well as the dangerously hot and chemical-ridden environment workers encounter each day. 97 Despite these complaints, the workers were required to enter into the structurally unsound buildings day after day."

"irst, entry into foreign markets

through subcontracting, rather than through di-

rectly owned production, is more common for ac-

tivities that are more labor- (rather than capital- or

knowledge-) intensive. In such instances, leading

global firms are concerned less with protecting the

secrets of their production processes, and more

with the cost and speed with which components

or final products can provided. "

"Revisions to national labor laws may be

“cheap talk”—a means by which governments can

appear to respond to external pressure to improve

rights, when they have little intention of protect-

ing or enforcing those rights."

"As of 2021, 160 million children are still engaged in activities that deprive them of their right to education, proper care and nutrition, and overall, of their right to be children."

"Moreover, in the developing countries where most products of fast-fashion are produced, children represent a ‘business opportunity’ for contractors in search for low-skilled workers who can be paid way below the minimum wage and easily forced to work due to the vulnerability that comes with their young age. Because of a lack of controls, including workers unions, and because of the complexity of the fast-fashion supply chain, employers often get away with engaging in such practice, and companies as well as consumers are hardly able to track where and how the final product has been made."
