Audience Member The way the camera lingers on details is fascinating. A straightforward portrait of an unseen segment of humanity. Stunningly visceral. Does being aware of their plight make us responsible? Whose fault is what? Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member An hour inside an Indian textile factory. Interesting but gets old quick. I wish they had gone full circle. Show how everything ends up on sale in a luxury store somewhere. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The dissonance of colorful fabrics and clanking, hellish physical toil makes for a powerful portrait of dehumanized labor conditions in a globalized economy. Rahul Jain's film conveys with revelatory force the mechanization of people in an industrialized milieu. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member In Cinema, a picture is really worth a thousand words, and this is a visually arresting and piercing look into the daily work of laborers at a gigantic textile factory in India, exposing in a mostly silent way the ugly exploitation and ungrateful conditions to which they are submitted. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member An exhausting exploration of sweat shop culture. This film is not fun to watch, but certainly has a way of installing itself in your psyche. The sparse landscape of this image and sound based film will dig deep into your conscience and make it impossible to hand that "made in India" shirt to the checkout clerk without thinking twice Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
