FILM FESTIVAL: If you don't come in on Sunday, don't come in on Monday: is comtemporary clothing manufacture coming clean?
This event, held at the Horse Hospital London, will feature two documentaries and an artist video that focus on the subject of sweatshops.
Micha X. Peled's (China Blue, 2005) and Amie Williams (No Sweat, 2006), recently took their cameras inside clothing factories in Asia and North America respectively. Their intention was to show that despite the garment industry legislations, factories continue to operate in shady ways with labour conditions that continue to be alarmingly poor. The ever topical issues raised by Peled's and Williams's documentaries will be picked up by a panel of clothing designers and manufacturers, representatives from trade unions and fair trade companies, journalists, academics and auditors.
