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 of original/Subtitles: Swedish and Indian, English voice over and subtitles
