DVD
title: We Shop, Who Pays?
Sweden 2003, 28 minutes
Description:
'We shop, who pays?' focuses on Tirupur
in South India but unlike other resources
so far available, it features the region's
shoe industry as well as going back up
the production chain to examine the impact
of dyeing processes on the local environment.
It tells of chemicals used which are banned
in Europe, of child labourers who do not
drink water during the day because there
are not enough toilets for their use,
of 16 to 19 years old who sleep on site
so they can work two shifts a day, of
the water which has to be brought in every
day as the local water sources are unfit
for human consumption, and of land contaminated
by the dyeing industry for which farmers
have not been compensated.· Language
