Toxic Labels: What is Behind Cheap Clothes | Textile Industry | Fashion | Investigative documentary from 2012
The documentary Toxic Labels investigate what is behind the cheap clothes sold by multinational companies. From the exploitation of children and workers to forcing laborers to work in dangerous conditions and violating local and international laws, it seems many manufacturers are still reliant on sweatshop models of production. In this exclusive investigation, we access the sweatshops of Bangladesh, where girls like 12-year-old Khadija work 60 hour weeks. We film inside the factories and speak to the workers.

The problem is not that there are companies that employ these workers. The problem is that there is no better alternative for them to make a living. Attacking the companies that give them jobs goes in the opposite direction of solving the problem. By doing that, the only thing you’re doing is destroying the best job that the workers can currently get. Without this job they would have to do something even worse. The solution is to create better jobs, not destroying the best ones that they already have.

As much as I applaud your video. I can't help but feel your rocking the boat only makes the quality of life of these children and their families only worse. I would hope that you compensated them dearly for the hardship they will endear for your sensational reporting

Wear what you have! Re-instate the tradition of hand-me-downs for kids. Most of what we buy is a want, not a need.

Chasing those girls to their slump residential section would mean jeopardising their livelihoods as means of survivals. Are there any assurances from investigating journalists to guarantee those young girls and their families for backlash from their employers for revealing the true working conditions. I feel sorry for those young girls as they put themselves on the spotlight.

Think of that poor girl, Kadeesha. She is 14 and working to care for her sick parents. Surely, her managers will be angry and retaliate against her for moving so many hearts. I pray for her safety and prosperity.

The worst part is that if these kids don’t have factory jobs they are homeless and starving or even worse off. It’s a vicious cycle now that most companies use cheap labor to produce their products

Things like this are why I wear my clothes until I can't repair them anymore and then use the leftover fabric to make quilts. I only clothes from thrift stores, so I'm never supporting a brand or company that, for all I know, could be engaging in these practices behind the scenes. I couldn't live with myself if I contributed to what is basically modern day slavery.

I dont buy from these stores anymore. I make my own clothes now and practice sustainable fashion. In the case I might need something more elaborate, I go to a small business fashion designer.

If everything we are affording at a low price is coming at a big price for others, shopping can never be as fun as earlier.

In North America, we have such a clothing throw away culture, large part because it is so cheap. A decent meal costs more than a good pair of pants or decent dress shirt. If fairer wages and work conditions were abroad, then retail prices would be more reflective(higher), thus we will throw away less clothing. A win win for less garbage, healthier ecology(less water/chemicals usage in production), and better World for all. Right now the big winners are the middle men and big factory management and obviously the bigger brands(Walmart, Blue Navy, Forever 21, etc.)

That blonde journalist woman is good, she's confrontational and straightforward with the questions...

Thank you for making this film. I think more and more people should be aware of the cost of cheap fast fashion.

“Zero tolerance does not equal zero risk” as he stated when the proof showed otherwise. Zero tolerance means a company should be more accountable so the risk is minimal to the workers no matter what country they are in.

Shame on them not to pay adequate wages so that employees can have decent lives. If contractors are not paid enough, than they cannot pay well their employees. It is all about economy, money and greed. The people in the fashion industry that push prices low are responsible for this and deserve jail for soliciting slavery

Well, let's say the 'head companies' like Zara and stuff can stop their contract with their vendors in Bangladesh, but how about the employees in the vendor? They need to feed themselves and family and they have to work in another sweatshops :(

I would say it is a significant accelerator of landfills, even disease. Their partnership is a ticking time-bomb: it is anathema of development.

endever, you make watching your videos great, reason being you translate in voice what most would put up subtitles, there are a lot of people that cannot read or write, so you are making videos watchable for the dyslexic community, thank you 💖😉😘👍
