Made in Bangladesh : the dark secret behind our clothes With 4.5 million workers in the textile sector, 80% of them women, female workers are on the front line in a repressive patriarchal society.
Inspired by the true story of a female textile worker in Dhaka who founded the country’s first women’s union, Made in Bangladesh tells the story of Shimu’s revolt when, against all odds, management threats and her husband’s anger, she decides to set up a union with other female colleagues.
A powerful film that questions the difficult conditions in which our clothes are made, but also the courage of those who fight to assert their rights.
