Description:

[b]PBS Independent Lens - China Blue (2007.TVRip.SoS[/b]) Originally aired: 2007.04.03 "They live crowded together in cement factory dormitories where water has to be carried upstairs in buckets. Their meals and rent are deducted from their wages, which amount to less than a dollar a day. Most of the jeans they make in the factory are purchased by retailers in the U.S. and other countries. CHINA BLUE takes viewers inside a blue jeans factory in southern China, where teenage workers struggle to survive harsh working conditions. Providing perspectives from both the top and bottom levels of the factory's hierarchy, the film looks at complex issues of globalization from the human level. While CHINA BLUE shows how the global economic system leaves the Chinese factory owner with few choices, it also explores in detail what that means for the workers. Anxious to avoid getting fined for falling asleep on the job, Jasmine and her friend Li Ping sneak out of the factory to buy energy tea, but they get caught and are fined. Other workers resort to clipping clothespins on their eyelids to keep their eyes open. When the workers' endurance reaches a breaking point, their only recourse may be a strike, which is illegal in China. CHINA BLUE, which was made without permission from the Chinese authorities, offers an alarming report on the economic pressures applied by Western companies and the resulting human consequences, as the real profits are made and kept in first-world countries. The unexpected ending makes the connection between the exploited workers and U.S. consumers even clearer." more info: http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/chinablue/ == runtime = 54mins xvid.640x480.1147kbps.mp3.112.vbr filesize = 500MB Support your local PBS Station by making a contribution or by purchasing their DVDs.

This is very touching. Impressive that the team was able to make this film.
To those who celebrate USA Thanksgiving: Watch this film with friends or family. I cannot think of a more appropriate occasion for this material.

I'm not going to support PBS by buying their DVD's. That's why I'm here on TPB. So don't get all uppity. Thanks for the download. This issue and more are why I am not a consumer of anything Chinese. They are global enemy #1.
