A textile worker fights for employee rights after a co-worker is killed in a fire at her factory.

Marc Savlov

Austin Chronicle

The portrait [Hossain] paints, while visually arresting thanks to cinematographer Sabine Lancelin's eye for Dhaka's colorfully saturated and gritty milieu, is a grim one.

Rated: 3.5/5

Chicago Reader

While similar, this story feels more urgent as it considers the livelihoods of women in especially precarious positions.

As Shimu's efforts ramp up and appear increasingly futile, "Made in Bangladesh" acquires a quiet power.

Rubaiyat Hossain's Made in Bangladesh is interesting for one reason and one reason only: it provides a glimpse of the lives of textile workers in Dhaka, Bangladesh and of the city itself.

Counterpunch.org

A gritty, neo-realist story about women fighting patriarchy in the factory and at home. The film is truly inspiring and welcome in a period when things couldn't seem worse.
