| DVD title: Adidas-Salomon:
The Mark Thomas Product
UK, 2001: 20 minutes
Description:
Mark Thomas, satirical writer and broadcaster
presents and organises a visit to a North
London primary school where the geography
lecturer invites the press officer of
adidas to come and answer questions set
by students. Jazzy Books donate free exercise
books to schools, but these contain substantial
amount of advertising, and they get market
research opportunities as a result. School
children question this practice, and interview
David Husselbee in the presence of an
Indonesian factory worker/representative
and an MEP. David Husselbee is evasive
and Mark Thomas demonstrates that workers
are seriously underpaid in Indonesia.
This satirical program offers a clear
message and very empowering to see school
children grill high-ranking adidas official.
