The Dark Side of Bangladesh's Garment Industry | Real Stories Full-Length Documentary

It’s April 23rd 2013, a busy commercial building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, towers over thousands of workers, many of them children. As they toil away in a cramped sweatshop the force of the eight-storey building collapses on to them, killing more than a 1,000 people and permanently disfiguring a further 2,500. It emerges that this building had been condemned and not fit for purpose, yet many workers were caged for 14-hours a day with no escape.This was not just an unfortunate circumstance but one that could easily have been prevented. Through first-hand eyewitness accounts we will investigate the cause of the collapse and reveal how major international brands have ignored the warnings by continuing to use these unsafe buildings and put profit ahead of safety. Beyond the crumbling walls of sweatshops, we expose the true cost of fashion, as two Bangladeshi women gets hired at the capital's fashion factories bringing hidden cameras that will document horrible working conditions, child labour, and verbal and physical abuse, revealing that the sweatshop tragic catastrophe was far from unexpected.
