Cineversity: Race to the bottom
Nerve Centre 7.00pm

'We were cheap labour once' one Derry woman declares in this documentary and apparently the women in the Bangladeshi garment industry may no longer be cheap enough.

Race to the Bottom focuses on Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, and Derry, and charts how the garment industry has virtually left the Developed World and moved to the poorer countries of the South and is infact constantly on the move ever downward in search of workers who are forced to work for less and less and in increasingly dangerous conditions.

Filmed in dramatically diverse locations from the Walls of Derry to the sweat shops in Bangladesh, this documentary raises many uncomfortable questions that are simply not being addressed.

Director Ronan Tynan and Producer / Researcher Anne Daly of Esperanza Productions will attend the screening and conduct a question and answer session afterwards. Organised in partnership with Cineversity, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and the One World Centre.
