8/10

The best part of Shraysi Tandon's Invisible Hands is how well the case is made against child labor. We get a sense of the consequences it has on children, the corporate greed factor, and the unbelievable size of the problem.

Terrific, well-paced documentary that covers so many countries and industries and is really eye-opening. A must watch for anyone interested in shopping and buying smarter.
