Made in Bangladesh

"Made in Bangladesh" was a documentary made by CBC. The video revolves around a former designer who is determined to find out how his clothes were really made. After hearing about the factory collapse in Bangladesh, causing many workers to be buried alive. We also learned that the factory had frequent fires. The large fires in the past also killed many as the doors were blocked by boxes and the windows were barred with metal.

It made me really sad to see how some people suffer for our selfish desires. Not only are they pressured to make a large amount of clothes in a short amount of time, but also payed way too little for all their efforts.

I hope that in the future it's possible for people in more fortunate countries like ours to do something about the horrible factory conditions in countries like Bangladesh.
