Made in Bangladesh - the fifth estate

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2014
- A lot of our clothes bear the label ‘Made in Bangladesh’. But before the deadly collapse of a garment factory there last April, most of us never thought about the people who make them. After clothes bound for Canada were found in the rubble of Rana Plaza, Canadian companies reacted with surprise - how could such a tragedy happen?
the fifth estate’s Mark Kelley went to Bangladesh and tracked down workers who say they are still forced to make clothes for Canada in dangerous conditions. And Kelley goes behind bars for an exclusive interview with the jailed owner of one of the biggest factories inside Rana Plaza, who details his long-standing, multi-million dollar connections to Canada.
Made in Bangladesh won the 2014 International Emmy® Award for Current Affairs programming.

I am bangladeshi girl and I feel sad that my government my country people can't see the flaws and mistakes while a canadian people can. I hope they will help our country to do proper business and our garment industry will be corruption free
I am Bangladeshi :( I am crying and crying . The Bangladesh media did not work with this issue like you :'(
People have been exploiting the Bangladeshi people for years. Since before the British empire. Nothing has changed. The government doesn't care also.
This is what happens when we don't align our values with how we spend our money. We are all connected.
I was born and raised in Bangladesh after you guys see this full documentary you may suggest to boycott these companies but that won't do a thing because the owners are filthy rich people the people who will suffer because of the boycott will be the poor people of Bangladesh.
this makes poverty in America look like high class living

My teacher showed this video to my class and I remember this clearly. My heart goes out to all the family and friends who lost there loves one.
As a Bangladeshi I can no longer be proud for being one of the largest exporter of garments in the world.
Nobody in the west should ever complain again about how hard their lives are after seeing this. I feel ashamed for humanity.
I am really thankful to you for such nice documentary. I know how hard it could be to make this kind of documentary in Bangladesh. Thanks for finding the real root cause.
As the factory owner said,
The key words that sum up this story are:
I am torn. The conditions are horrible! But if I don't buy the clothing, I run the risk of putting someone out of a job. I would have to be shown that the workers are better off without a job than with one. No question, Bangladesh government must impose safety regulations in the workplace.
Many of you thinks that boycotting Bangladeshi products will solve the problem. But it will make this even worse. Bangladesh will lose their order. If you boycotted Bangladeshi products only the poor will suffer. The factory owner won't suffer because they have a lot of money. They'll start another business. But many poor people will lose their job. Many of those small children don't have any parents. How will they live in here? They need money to eat. And many of them has a small brother, they also needs to support them. There are many jobless people in Bangladesh. And it is extremely hard to live using that small wage, but it is better than nothing.
Congratulations on this wonderful documentary. Fast-fashion is built upon the suffering of millions of workers (90% women, many children) in China, Bangladesh, Cambodia... workers who have to endure endless shifts for wages below the poverty line. And let's not mention the sexual harassment the young female workers suffer in those sweatshops. We all know about this: the exploitation, the pollution of the air and the waterways, the mountains of clothes piling up in land-fills all over the world.... Let's boycott fast-fashion. Let's share, swap, buy second hand, support fairtrade brands... and above all, do we still need more clothes? Javi Caballero (Spain)
As I was watching this great doc but had no idea it had been given an "Emmy" congrats to all of you esp ...Mark Kelley
dear CBS if you want real picture please take the interview of politicians of Bangladesh. every event that occur in Bangladesh somehow related to politics. the owner of rana plaza is a political person he is not accused and tried in court. so kindly uncover the truth behind the truth. we are poor. we need job, money and food to eat. and it is the politicians who play with us. so please do not harm the image of these poor workers by telecasting these type documents.
My heart is aching for all those people that perish in these buildings. This documentary is so sad. I cry all the time watching it. I'm so sorry. As a Canadian I feel the need and urge to demand better conditions for these workers. And as an architecture designer knowing that this buildings are being built so poorly and dangerous is very troubling. I hope the government hears our demands for changes. :(
used to be proud of being the second largest garments importer in the world as a bangladeshi, not anymore.
